A book is like . . .
Two silver herring fish
Sleek, alive, darting free:
Two silver herring fish
Sleek, alive, darting free:
Published with hope and love
Sent into the sea of the world;
Given to the four winds:
Sent into the sea of the world;
Given to the four winds:
Food in the hands of life
Written with an inner life:
Two are in a book of one;
It was two that were needed
To feed the multitude:
Written with an inner life:
Two are in a book of one;
It was two that were needed
To feed the multitude:
For the life that breaks to give
The power that ignites the book
And multiplies its reach
The power that ignites the book
And multiplies its reach
