Pages of Starlight

Bidhi Pant 2009 (Boston)



The scent of the books fill my nostrils with such delight
As I flipped the pages of starlight
Every chapter brings me to a new empire
Where I discover people with much to inspire

I hop and skip to forests and castles
And meet people that just dazzle
With a flick of a wand
And a sprinkle of dust
Any mind will be immersed in wanderlust

Alas I’ve got to close my book
Caging new ideas in a nook
Shutting all the stories inside
Everything is washed away by a tide

But don’t worry I will come again
Again to wander in the train
Of magical wonders and sights to see
My mind will buzz with glee
