Reading

                                                                  

I never leave home, on my journeys to nature's true north,

Without my trusty shoulder-slung portmanteau

Bulging with a complement of literature I long to explore,

 

Despite my realizing, from experience, that in ten days' time,

If I finish three or one of these volumes, I'll set a record

(Overzealously, I hope to read the dozen I've brought).

 

It's always a good idea to be weighed down by books —

The widest selection from the world's finest minds —

Just in case I find my own company wanting.

 

What's more, in the unlikely event that I do get bored,

I'll be able to consult their oracles, portrayals, visions,

To map my way back to imagination's front door.

 

But I believe I know why I never get lost in my reading:

There's so much more to glean from the woods and the lake,

So many stories and myths in their ancient pages.
