A book

2004 6th-8th Grade Poetry Winner

A book,
On the outside
A dull figure.
You see it black and white.
But beneath that simple
Tattered cover we all know
Lies knowledge,
Adventure.
Suddenly,
It does not seem so
Familiar.
A different world
As if our eyes were closed our
Whole lives.
A sudden awakening -
Another birth.
A new beginning
Seeking a familiar
End.
Inside
A book.
