be ready…

Book-ish

Pick up that book again.

Yes, too many words,

too many pages.

In there, somewhere,

a lustrous phrase

you didn’t see,

a deepest thought

you didn’t think,

a relic of song

you didn’t sing,

a wayward dream

you didn’t know,

a sequence of best words,

they were a blur.

Take the book again,

open it where you will,

be ready for something more.
