A Book is like a Sacred Isle



A book is like a sacred isle:
It briefly isolates my life
With an inner freeing peace
Unique to me

It keeps me in its keep:
It well insulates my heart
With a moat around my joy
An invisible sea

Its pages form a speaking rock
That impacts the mind it anchors
With a message from its plot
Its leaves unlock

A book is like a charted isle:
Interpreting my soul
With the intercepting knowledge     
Its enchanting lines decode
