Books fall open,

You fall in,

Delighted where,

You've never been.

Hear voices

Not once heard before

Reach world through world,

Through door on door.

Find unexpected

Keys to things,

Locked up beyond

Imaginings......

True books will venture,

Dare you out,

Whisper secrets,

Maybe shout,

Across the gloom,

To you in need

Who hanker for

A book to read.
