The gathering dust
speaks of passing of time
and it is a must
to follow this mime.
Books may hold stories,
the wisdom of sages,
but sometimes the glories
are not on the pages
The presence of books
tells also a tale
and just by their looks
you can tell without fail
Whether the owner
will read at their leisure
and maybe this loner
prefers books as pleasure
Or whether they use them
as tools of a trade
and will gladly lose them
when new plans are made.
The owner is shown
from their most private side
and it can be known
what they try to hide.
The books that we’ve read
have told us their lore
but they may have led
someone else to see more
This lore long forgotten
can kindle and feed us
but the books that are chosen
say much of the readers
