Story Telling

Nothing is like the pages held within a binding.

They each have their own distinguishable look and smell

Old one’s, new one’s, worn one’s and torn one’s.

All of them only 26 letters arranged in a way to tell stories

With no two stories are the same.

What can one do with all the information they receive?

Anything their heart desires.

We can absorb it, dream about it, or even begin to live it.

There is no limits to what a book can do,

But there is both light and darkness held within the turn of the cover.

They can hold secrets to hidden mysteries in the darkest corners of the page;

They can rule an entire mass of people to worship it within the fine print;

And they can create false realities that will change a person’s heart.

A book can teach you anything about the world

About the mind, body, and soul.

A book can teach you anything about the stars

About trains, pigs, and bowls.

The most powerful force of all, is our choice to accept them.

We can do anything with the knowledge.

We could utilize it, lose it, or grow from it.

Nothing can stop the power of a book when it’s opened

For they will forever be changing life like technology changes the world.
