Fare-thee-well
Laying
by the fireplace in winter
A
book opens
The
chapter for non-swimmers
Teaching
them to fish.
Embrace
of it,
A
pushing folly,
Forbidden
rusty pages,
A
mind opener.
Pages
dawning,
Not
like a bouquet unloved.
The
bookmark
Bringing
back
The
clothed baby alphabets
Growing
with blush and bloom.
The
snow bird singing
The
melodious spring full of words,
Night
table light
Bidding
fare-thee-well
Only
to keep shining.
