Curiousity is an Ember

Books and their beauty
How perfect they are
With meaningful language
And stories to be told

The atmospheric silence
And aged smell of parchment
Worn over time
But loved nonetheless

Each one a rarity
A shiny new thing
Unique in purpose
Similar in shape alone

Ubiquitous in composition
Keepers of secrets
It is just as well
Curiosity is an ember
