World of Boys

Books of worlds, worlds of books, boys and girls our story begins with 





World of Boys





World of boys plopping around 

Brows of boldness borrowing ground





There are bright new beginnings

when you open a book





Beneath the tree 

that’s oft overlooked 





Good books are quite the find

Unless looking for one around borrowed time 





Beneath boredom and trees you’ve climbed

Are stories of mine 





When a portal is opened work becomes bright 

Opening up worlds and this boy’s life 





Looking to see 

but writing to speak 





A world of books sitting around

courageously waiting to be bound





Creative boy you are winning!

Where should I start? 

I guess  the beginning   





World of boys upside down

Writing to say there’s a book on the ground 

We can open it up, looking to read,

or I could climb that gigantic tree

and hang with you from my feet.





While in his head he clearly said

the words you just read.  But he couldn’t speak,

so all they heard was “eee eee eee”.





He escaped beneath that enormous tree

and opened the book he hoped to read.

But when he opened up the book

He looked and looked but could not believe,

there was nothing there,nothing to see.

Brown covers with white pages simply 

Free of words, completely empty.





So he picked that book up, and with the pen he took up,

he began to write.





On open wishes, promises and sight, 

I leave this book lost and bright 

and preparing, quite possibly, a story to write.

Please be patient with me

I’m looking for insight.





When I return quietly words will reveal

a boy, a purpose, and a gift that’s real. 





When he returned to the tree

Would you believe





Boy looked down 

and on the ground 





Beneath the leaves 

Below that tree

Last seen when he was four foot three

Was the book 

lost and incomplete

Lying at his feet





Weathered by both storms and life

Boy took his pen and began to write.
