The stroke of midnight
Entering a world of fiction –
Before one of dreams
The stroke of midnight
Entering a world of fiction –
Before one of dreams
The best companion
Entertains and educates –
Smell of old pages
Pouring down with rain
Whilst I enter the bookstore —
A fine blast of heat
Sea of ink and blood
Sacked Library of Baghdad —
Knowledge lost for good
Open the aged book
And you’ve just stepped back in time —
Fragrance of the past
