The Story In My Veins

Words have a value

 

a reason and purpose

 

some see the meaning

 

others leave the book unopened

 

each word holds truth

 

a glimmer of wisdom

 

each sentence holds a light

 

the flicker of an ember

 

each page holds a soul

 

that has the power to complete

 

each book holds a heart

 

listen close and you'll hear it beat <3

while maintaining a nice simplicity, you have drawn a supple prospect of looking into the multi-faceted ways reading a book helps. I like how you have associated words with abstract meanings. Reason, purpose, truth, wisdom, as you have connoted of, from verbal works can give epiphany to readers. i contempt the wasting of books with its essential contents being displayed on shelves without anyone close to touching it. Each book does hold a heart! =)

indeed, it's so sad that few people now a days see it as such. You describe so perfectly the persuasion and the thirst for reading while still respecting what it means and what books do.
