Sarah Flanigan - Poetry Simply Put

It was a good day

because I wrote

Because ideas clung

to the paper.

The ink sunk in deep -

permanently.

I offer my world

to your focus.

And I leave it

as a fingerprint

of my spirit.

Unloved books
line the wall.
Their smell calls
out to me.

Hand reaches
wants to touch.
I breathe in
yellow pages.
History.

Feel the love
of past reads.
And whisper
I’ll love you.
You are home.
