Timeworn

Something I wrote based on the word "timeworn".

My favorite book of all time
I always go back to it for inspiration
I've had it since before I could even read it
It's pages have yellowed and some are torn
The smell of them bring up memories
I remember writing while sitting in trees
I remember lying in the grass
Reading book after book
The cover has faded and the corners are worn
The sight of it opens my heart
I go back to times when all my dreams were possible
When I was capable of anything
I will keep this book with me always
To remind me of all these things
These memories will keep me from becoming
Just like this august book
Timeworn

love the concept of this. the imagery is wonderful and the message is clear. i had a favorite book that my father had given my mother when my sister and i were born. my mother used to read it to me before bed, and it became the first book i ever completed on my own. was Nora Robert's first novel, Irish Thoroughbred. not exactly in my current style but will always have a place in my heart. beautiful poem, timeworn.
