People are like books
People are like
books stacked on library shelves
The spines a thousand different colors tucked next to each other
side by side by side
Some are torn and worn with age
hurt and loved a thousand reads over
Others are brand new, slipped onto shelves
Pages crisp and clean, bindings stiff and uncracked
People are like books stacked on library shelves
They tell a different story–each rich and deep
Stories of adventure, humor, romance, mystery, sadness, lonely, bravery, love, magic, history, future, poetry, music, science, death, life. Page after page after page of living.
And each book waits
waits to be lifted off the shelf,
and read
and understood
and loved
People are like books stacked on library shelves
Always hoping that to one, perhaps they are a literary masterpiece
