One step forward,

Another two steps back.

Rows filled with knowledge,

Both great and small.

Brown Bear,

Wildfire,

Rikki-tikki-tavi,

Sundust and more.

Thousands of sections

Piecing together;

Creating a world

Within our own.

Glancing over,

A sudden glimpse of a mystery.

Bound in periwinkle and midnight glows,

Streaks of golden light

Fill the night

With a treasure untold.

Terilaten Lights;

A name,

Screaming out in the dusk.

Page one,

Page two,

How it took

You along

Through the dream

Of make-believe.

How long,

Oh,

How long,

You wished it lasts.

Closing a time,

After this climb,

A glimpse of viridian

Leaves a median

Within your life

And without this strife.
