The simplicity of the bookmark...

This writing was inspired by the idea that the writer and the reader have a continuous, interactive relationship throughout any type of storybook reading. It is simple in its approach but then again, there's nothing wrong with simple;


The Bookmark

This is the mark

I spot and set.

night-weary eyes

no longer able

to keep keen pace

As the poet’s words

rage & race across

this page--

in vain.

The night-light

wanes...

Sleep is now here.

The good book

placed near--

for the reader

(the listener)--

to resume the quest

where this mark

has been set.
