Library by Abbi Wharton

The Library

The Silence comforts me;

only interrupted by soft whispers

and the rustle of paper.

Black lines form together

and turn into words,

sentences and paragraphs.

Paragraphs that turn into

stories, hidden among soft

well worn papers.

Papers that take me

to other worlds and other times

far beyond me reach.

Books stacked neatly next to each other,

the covers beckoning me to judge.

The dusty, sweet, inky smell

speaks experience and soothing oasis.

My sweet escape

where I can truly find

solitude in words

and adventure in a comfortable chair.
