A book is like a single
star
A many-sided diamond
A complex thing
Giver of a thousand beams
Unbending source of power
Though one amongst a crowd
Shining as a silent eye
Shivered light,
brilliant cut
A single force
In many-sided dreaming
lines
Yet as a star without a
seer is no light
A book without a reader is
no star:
For of itself it has no
dream to shine
Its all, in the eye
of its beholder
Poem

A Rain of Booklight
