Take a Book (v 2)

Take a book
soundly,

hear it chime,
feel its wave.

So many antidotes
linger in her pages.

I'll never take them all,
bereft of silence
in this hall.

About Me

All poetry is supposed to be instructive but in an unnoticeable manner; it is supposed to make us aware of what it would be valuable to instruct ourselves in; we must deduce the lesson on our own, just as with life. -Goethe
