A long-hidden jewel
In a leatherbound case
Enticing you, drawing you near
Deep in its pages
Adventure awaits
It’s calling you, “Come!” Don’t you hear?
Each volume a story
That needs to be told
And told in a truly new way
For though it’s been told
To the crowds many times
To you, it is born on this day
Each page is a window
Into worlds unknown
A step of faith toward the unseen
Each word a wheel turning
In one author’s mind
A picture of his living dream
Each letter a brushstroke
In an aged artist’s hand
A masterpiece dreading its end
For when the last page,
The last word, and the last
Letter is written-his pen
The instrument bringing
His vision to life
Is laid down and lifted no more
And the jewel of adventure’s
Locked safely away
‘Til one dreamer can open its door.
