Beautifully packaged,
In bright-colored jackets,
Waiting for me,
Waiting for me.
Good books,
Never pressure,
Or push me,
To open their pages.
And when I’m ready,
I read as fast and as much,
As I choose!
Gracious books.
So selflessly giving,
A story,
At my fingertips,
Awaiting my perusal.
Revealing richness, depth,
Mystery, secrets,
Beauty, love,
And wisdom untold.
Nothing withheld,
As my interest,
And curiosity peak,
Becoming fully engaged;
Unfazed by daily distractions,
Satiated and satisfied,
Buried deep,
Within the pages.

I love this, Gilda–and so relate!! I had abandoned reading during the first 4 years of blogging, but I’m back to books again–how refreshing!!

Yes, definitely reading less since entering the “blogosphere,” in May. Thankfully a local summer reading club introduced me to “The Invention of Wings,” by Sue Monk Kidd. Am thoroughly enjoying…how it ends, we shall see!
