“A.Y.C.E.”

"He fed his spirit with the bread of books.”  ~Edwin Markham

Winding through the

Maze of aisles,

Books stream

Along the towering

Shelves. Running her

Fingers down the spines,

Stopping now and then to

Crack the cover for a

Taste, she piles her tray

High with Joyce to feed her

Mind, Dickens to keep her full, and

Austen to sweeten the meal.  Her

Spirit sated on the bread of books.
