A Poem for Today

SUDDEN CURES:

A BOOK

There was a book
that spoke no words.
It sat and sighed
beside this friend or that.
It asked nothing
and gave nothing.
Nobody broke the silence
of this shy book,

until one morning
some singing was heard
from far inside the book,
back in the last chapters.
Then some news was softly broadcast
from the table of contents,
and visions were announced
from somewhere in the center
of this suddenly brave book.
