Feb. 7 prompt - Chinese gods of household goods. |
Books encapsulate libraries honouring dreams Families long held Past down Through generations They are instruments Providing emancipation From customary prejudice They are mind alerting They are mind opening They give freedom wings Taking you places you never dreamed existed. They let blind men see They teach They preach They reach They fill impoverished souls With hope And provide places for escape When our world Bares down on us Threatening full engulfment They bring clarity Provide resources Making way for new choices And alternative ways They uplift They allow for soft places That capture those who need it Letting you regain Your equilibrium And find harmony The outside world May roar and gnash its teeth But inside the home Families find comfort In tales told over and over. Lines = 38 Prompt for: Feb 7 (Fyn) ▼ |
