OLD books...
       Old thoughts
              Old words

       NEW books...
              New thoughts
                     Old words

              DUSTY books...
                     Forgotten thoughts
                            Same words

                     CLEAN books...
                            Like thoughts
                                   Same words

Rooms and rooms for one to wander through
Books and books on shelves
To look at, take in and move on.

       Through rooms and rooms one browses
       To seek one book, one thought
       Of like mind and soul.

              In and out of rooms seeking truth
              From this book and that one
              Pausing, perusing and passing on.

                     Coming to a distant room with only one shelf
                     Full of one book, the same book
                     One truth to find, one thought for your soul.

                                                        An OLD book...
                                                 With one thought
                                          And very old words

                                          A NEW book...
                                   With the same thought
                            And the same words

                            A DUSTY book
                     With long forgotten thoughts
              And very old words

              A NEARLY NEW book
       With my old thoughts
And my new words.
