I well remember the library opening in Eaglesham in the 60′s, our house didn’t have  any readable children’s books. The library’s written words in accessible books made me a reader, a learner, an open door to understanding. Audio books? books on Kindle? who cares just absorb  more words.

Words waiting

Hidden on closed pages

Latent power, latent influence

Just words; waiting

Waiting to be read

Waiting to be understood

Poetic words; patiently proscribed

Novel words; creative

Factual words; educative

But just print on a page

In your language

Waiting to be read

Waiting to be understood
