Library

The library is my home

My place of refuge

My heaven

I love it's enchantment

It's romance

It's mystery

Walls lined with books 

Old fashioned decor

The musty scent of books

Dim lamplight shadows

The feel of the smooth pages 

Rough binding under my fingertips 

Sends shivers through my spine. 

Magic charges the air

Objects alight with spell

Mystery and knowledge

Love and hate

Reality and day dreams

Emotions and facts

Seeming contradictions

Excitement and calm

Contentment and ambition

Safety and exposure

Boldness and vulnerability

The library houses all in harmony

Libraries are peaceful. 

Still and quiet

Libraries are inspiring. 

Each book teaches a lesson

Libraries are romantic. 

Romance fuels imagination

Libraries are freeing. 

Allowing me to fly

Libraries are safe.

Secure and warm

In a library, 

I can be an introvert. 

I can dive into a good book.

I can sit and be inspired. 

I can write my thoughts and ideas.

I can daydream.

The library is alive

With depth, 

With variety,

With knowledge,

With imagination, 

With romance, 

The library is my home.

It is part of who I am.
