My Sage
17th June 2023

The shelf missed you little book,
the collection curated and lovingly assembled,
over many years past,
tells stories of a life lived without even the opening of a page,
philosophy and religion, self-improvement, murder mysteries and English classics read whilst travelling the world,
children’s books and sci-fi, ancient texts, exploring why,
sailing, home improvement, and novels live here,
Rushdie, Conrad, Kipling, other authors, held dear,
so return to the fold little book,
you are part of something much larger than mere print on page,
you are the tale of a life, you impart wisdom,
you are, my sage.
