The Safari

The golden dust, the scent of coming rain, The rising sun on the vast and open plain. A canvas painted in ochre, green, and gold, A story ancient, and so bravely told. The engine hums, a low and patient sound, As the jeep goes searching for hallowed ground. A silhouette of giraffes, tall and serene, A living image on a wild and endless scene The mighty lions, a sun-soaked tawny pride, Hidden in the grasses where their instincts guide.

The World of Books

 

Books

They provide solace to some 

Occasional doorway to sights, previously  unseen 

Knowledge to pursuers  

Enlightenment to the illiterate 

Enjoyment if not pleasure you seek 

 

A modest way to travel to places unknown 

A channel to people, famous or not 

Arena for writers and readers alike

Bringing alive thoughts only envisioned  

 

History it preserves  

Stories it tells 

Information it transfers 

Record it keeps 

Emotions it stirs 

Longings it fulfills 

 

A teacher it is  

A lover not less 

Entertainment it offers 

Rubble rouser besides  

All this and more it achieves, through the mind blowing world of books
