Book of Life,
Art
Passion
Pursued bliss
Freedom released
Within the book of life
Envy non-existing
Lust hankered
In anchored
Soul
Me
You
Everyone
Seeking respect
Admiration for self
In the walls of freedom
Loving absolutely
Totally open
Believing
Hoping
In
Us
Seeing
The truth
That lays deep
In the mountain rocks
And every stream
Of minutes tick
This journey
Called life
Exists
Yet
Busy
We are
To feel it
Taste and smell
The beauty of elements
Focusing on opposite
Not the important
The dying and
Not living
Rotting
In
Sad
Despair
Hungry always
Yet full of hatred
Though one day awaking
Realizing and comprehending
Then again reliving
With brand new
Dreams and
Vision in
Bright
Eyes
Yes
Seeing
Life passing by
Why so quickly we die
Then hurrying to grab a hold
Of the book of life
And this time
Reading it
Grasping
Never
Let
Go
For it
Holds on
To the pages
That make you feel
Alive with hot fire and desire
Re-read if you must
Though do trust
Your inner
Voices
Not
Eyes
For you
And I are
For a purpose
Long or short matters
Not the destinations at all
But the journey taken
Lessons learned
Rollercoaster
Is this vast
Brilliant
Life

The scent of books is intoxicating.
It smells of ancient,
Of an antique perfume.
Piles of books align neatly,
Queue in line,
by Bob Welbaum
Books Are Your Friends
To all of you students going to school,
it would be wise to remember one rule:
Think of your books
Leaning on their sides
Standing straight up
Stiff spines
Piled so high
I fear an avalanche
At any time.
Some are leather
Some gold,
Books, tall and small,
thrown in a bag
downloaded on the latest technology,
teach us all that we need to know.
Authors warn
by Roy Blokker
So many old friends
Staring from the shelves.
Waiting like soldiers
Before a battle,
Gathering dust.
They sing to me
Sad songs,
