Library in my Mind

I went to the library in my mind today… to find a book to read, in a quiet place… in my time…

I found a familiar volume… its binding was strong. The fine leather was clean and polished. The gold foil embossing looked new and crisp.

I sat, at rest, and began to read… the story of you…

There were many chapters… I skipped ahead to a recent chapter and then flipped back to earlier times. The characters were full of color. I found adventure. I found drama. I found history.

There were twists and turns… there was sadness and there was joy… it read like an adventure. It read like a drama and it read like a comedy… each chapter led my mind through a lifetime of memories…

I came to the end… but the adventure was not over. The last pages were empty and clean. The story will evolve and the story will continue... 

I placed it on the shelf with my other books. I displayed it in front. I will return to it… I often return to it… to read from life’s memories and to feel the emotion of its pages…
