Book

Who knew what treasures
paper held in cloth could offer?
Words spilling from left to right
across pages, decades and generations.
Cover stained with ring marks
from your cup - of solace, joy, salvation?
A fragile spine resting in hands
that once held yours.
Deep magic
joining hearts and heaven.


(God Calling by Two Listeners was first published in 1934 and was owned by my Grandparents in 1954, now it is speaking to me in 2011)
