Private Reading

PRIVATE  READING 

The walls are tall, strong and silent; 

containing a thousand million

often read and often loved words. 

He used to believe he came here,

in times treasured, to be alone. 

But now, every once in a while, 

he almost wants to admit that

he might just visit all of these

voiceless, forgiving dear old friends

of his because he is lonely.
