So much has been left behind,
abandoned as the pages turn
Stuck between chapter and verse
Forgotten once the need is gone
But the need is never really far
Those words and phrases carry you
hold you as the covers close
Show you what the world outside
is really meant to mean
Such a slow but necessary
task it is to retrace steps
to pick up what’s been dropped before
to reread what was written
But in the end these pages
will lead to something magical
if you let the ink inside
show you where to go
