A Book is like an Orchard's Dream

  

A book is like an orchard’s dream 
That leads me through the apple boughs
In dryad lines, a springly lilt in dappled light

Full of wisdom-flowers, that bud and blossom
Fresh from its pages ripe with knowledge, for
The heart that hears it lifts to see its fruitful dreams

In light diffused, its turns and whirls in story curls
Divergent words, that in me work in patterned thought
As sunbeams dance, amidst the dreaming apple trees
