A poem about reading; Request suggestions for improvement
Dust motes spin
through streaming sunlight.
Lives rise up
from parchment layers.

A whisper of yesterday
takes a breath.
Footprints trapped in ink
tap out memories
imprinting
that-which-would-be-forgotten
on today.

Passages remain
captive...
tomorrow's ending
safely waiting,
remembered,
as long as there are words
on a page.
