Lost In Wonder and Delight

It's a wonderful thing to read
think of many who can't do that
those of us who can see clearly
have a gift that many wish to indeed

There is nothing like a great book
one that holds you in its grip
you just can't seem to put it down
it's like a good wine, take a sip

You feel its smoothness as you touch
bringing a glow to you within
it's importance conveyed in its words
each one has a meaning to bring

No matter its size or numbers
there's a character within, it's own
whatever its subject matter
it has authenticity being no clone

So let's sum up what it means
lost in wonder and delight
in many ways its effect is sublime
turning your darkness into light

(This is written by a book lover, describing the great wonder of a loving a book and all it conveys)
