Pages of a book

 


We are all made of stories.

All pages of a book,

unwritten sections still connecting

within the mind of the cosmic author.

Open the gold lined binding

and inside you will find a whole new world.

Take a run up and dive in.

Each sentence a minute

of a clock hand unwinding,

ticking in reverse as the images

flash backwards to those

flickering beginnings.

Each word that is placed within

adds to the bouquet. Every paragraph

a perfume-scented reminder

of a different day.

As you slip through the pages,

a day at a time, building the background

to your own storyline.

 

We are all a part of a story.

One giant manuscript, that sits,

never complete, as each moment

of breath we breathe, another storyline

paints itself onto the page beneath,

whilst a different one weaves its way

to the stars.

There will be setbacks,

rolls of the dice

sending you back

to an early place in life.

You'll fall. You will be hurt,

but you'll survive

and at times you'll thrive.

 

Our pages interlink,

crossing pen ink

into another person's story.

Some blot the pages

making them hard to read.

Whilst others leave

doodles, love hearts

and flowers covering

the margins.

 

Our storylines will have

many cliffhangers,

lots of dead-end streets.

Each blended storyline we meet

will bring a smile

or share their sharpened teeth.

So many routes to navigate.

Will there be sadness or a happy fate?

Outcomes of which we can never know,

because if we knew,

we would alter this human state,

where mistakes are there to teach.

Love is the lesson. We need

to practice what we preach.

The love of the earth,

will reward you for your role in this book,

which will always sit incomplete.
