Haven

I love bookstores
Watching people
Some, deep in thought
Floating away on words
Other, laughing at stories shared
Still more chatting
People talk about such interesting things in bookstores
Almost like the books give them permission
To become the person they would like to be
Or the person they are… that remains unseen by outsiders
Being around other book people
Let’s them share
Thoughts…
Feelings…
Safety found
With bookstore people
