The Magic of Old Books
November 29, 2017
From cover to cover
A story is told.
It's a collection of words,
A language of old.
Its pages are worn,
Their color is faded.
The corners are bent,
The margins are decorated
But its ideas are the same.
The narrative is unchanging.
While the volume is lovingly worn,
The magic is unfailing.

Reading has always been a huge part of my life. I believe in reading a book over and over until it is worn out from flipping pages and annotations. I believe that the power books hold in their words can last a lifetime.
