A Book's Credo

I believe in the relevancy of words,

The snare of crisis,

The dominion of a sentence,

The empathy shared between pages,

The narrative cradling your mind,

Thought, idea, originality.

 

But the decision to not grant yourself an imagination is selfish.

 

I believe in trying new things,

I believe in true meanings,

I believe in creativity through difficulty,

Wit, sincerity, spirit.

 

And I believe in an undeniable connection through us.


The author's comments:

Books can have so many meanings, each one unique. But there are certain properties of the books that I love that I notice create these effects for the readers. 

A writer is their book, so appropriately this can also be the credo of a writer.
