Library adventures

NaPoWrimo 2016

Library

Winter night, the wind swirling 

Over the town, black clouds

Rolling in, loaded with snow

The library windows alight

A lighthouse in the coming storm

Warm refuge in the torment

The Jungle Book, India  calling,

Don Quixote in La Mancha

Fighting the windmills of illusion

La Mandragola in Firenze , 

Stretching limits of old farce

Arthur and his knights 

On unsung adventures in Broceliande forest

Or maybe a run with the King's musketeers

After the felon malicious Milady.

But maybe, maybe lose yourself

Follow your heartstrings

Lead you by less travelled lanes

And discover the ancient 

Journeys of the  Odyssey , 

Eneid, La chanson de Roland, 

All epics songs of travelling bards.

Such treasures ,

So many adventures to share

Are to be found on the shelves

Of this temple of words .
