Lighterature: A Poem

By Ebower

Open a book and take a look,

To find endless worlds abound,

Knights, pirates, and aliens,

Come alive without a sound.

The words conspire to inspire,

I see them gather on weathered pages,

Once upon a time is where it all begins,

Present fades as time stops for all ages.

All journeys end after twisted paths bend,

Usually happily ever after meets you there,

The turning stops and all paper must rest,

Just close the book and quietly stare.

Love it! It is exactly how I feel about books. They can take you wherever you wish to go.

@ f : I interpret it to mean that Literature acts like a light revealing to you many unknown things. Ebower, am I right?

North Wind: I'm glad you could relate to it. :)

f & North Wind: I chose a variation of the word 'literature' for the title. I put the word 'light' within it to say that books light up our soul. I like your explanation also, North Wind.
