These Books

by Joe Cramer

These books fly away from my heart
from my hands
taking me far and away, from the start
to many a distant land.
Like frigates of old
these books stir my soul.

Author's Note: ... my home is literally lined with books.... with a nod to Dickinson.....

Ah yes, books! Dusky scent of paper = instant nostalgia. Good write, and now I recognize the 'frigate' line as well :D Thanks.

I love books, and anything to do with them. This is a wonderful piece!
