to plant the germinating seed

if before u a shelf of books u should find

how long would it take  to pick one and your thoughts bind

with pages of records of another's experiences and imaginings

making theirs, now yours, no longer strange happenings.

and in that choice would your world broaden

would your reality with new possibilities enliven

or would it be a safe choice of the same old same old

preferring the known , muffling your chance to be bold...

in the choice of a book considered a yawn and dreary

ones choice of neon bright characters fictional...so contrary

a marriage of both...a world fantastical

merging the two...from the usual taking a sabbatical.

to broaden ones knowledge to read and learn

 to have no fear, a new path choose, to take a turn

misinformation, ignorance breeds fear of the unknown

rather to read...to self realisation...the path be shown.

 

and thus, what be considered taboo and threatening

another possibility postulated, new understanding begetting

time for that long awaited magazine to put out for your read

time for new perspectives, time for debates, to plant a germinating seed.
