a library's pantoum
August 3, 2019
library: safe and sheltered between books
in this place where i belong
flipping page after page
diving headfirst into different realities
in this place where i belong
hidden between boisterous bookshelves
diving headfirst into different realities
worn paper against my fingers
hidden between boisterous bookshelves
and buried beneath a grey sky
worn paper against my fingers
i let my knuckles skim the faded spines
buried beneath a grey sky
i sink into the corner chair - my corner chair
i let my knuckles skim the faded spines
each a mystery divulging secrets in my ear
there is a quiet hum of whispers
each a mystery divulging secrets in my ear
i open the first chapter
in this place where i belong

The library has always been a safe place for me - it's where I can let go and read for hours. I hope this poem resonates with other library lovers.
