More Reading Rainbow
Words on the page
Each one a step
Into a vivid world
That absorbs the senses
To bestow knowledge
And escape
And lull one into slumber
*
It is a skill
Finely crafted from youth
Marked by stumbles
Language nuances
Half-followed rules
And dwindling interest
Carry on into adulthood
*
Books can be salvation
A respite within the storm
Letting minds wander
To learn
Or detox from day’s trials
Humans need reading
To continue on their way
That’s great, Charles! A great way to show the value of reading. I hope more people will realize how many precious hours can be spent reading.
