The Act of Reading
It’s amazing how
Letters on the page
Keep us going
How the, which has little
Meaning, is essential
I look at the page, and
It matters
You find me there, too
And everyone who
Has meant something to you
And me
However it’s configured
Nowadays,
We go to words on pages
And they matter
The secrets of all time and space
Are there
The words wait
Like magic spells
Invocations standing by
Turn to them
Whether paper or electrons
Our salvation waits
And other stories
