In the hush of the library’s glow,485Please respect copyright.PENANAHL92xhJCal
I find solace in pages worn,485Please respect copyright.PENANAdngo7sAzHy
Losing myself in stories untold,485Please respect copyright.PENANA1lXHA73KH5
Escaping the troubles the world has borne.
Yet as I sit, a sorrow lingers,485Please respect copyright.PENANAz9o6Iq6Cua
A weight that drapes the hollow air.485Please respect copyright.PENANAj4N5g502MD
The shelves once brimming with eager hands,485Please respect copyright.PENANA961cPzoBuI
Now stand forgotten, stripped and bare.
No more do students crowd the aisles,485Please respect copyright.PENANALXmNQynj3z
Bent in study, lost in thought.485Please respect copyright.PENANATCBKaT4dZU
No more do whispers thread the silence,485Please respect copyright.PENANAZ44MYdmAZC
As librarians guide the knowledge sought.
The stillness stretches, vast and deep,485Please respect copyright.PENANAbgFeSVqlRL
A hollow echo in its place.485Please respect copyright.PENANAaY9UAOhQ4B
I miss the hum, the rustling pages,485Please respect copyright.PENANAhivVWzLYY8
The scratch of pens, the hurried pace.
Yet even in this lonely hush,485Please respect copyright.PENANAvpOXHa2a9l
I find comfort in written words.485Please respect copyright.PENANA2bmEPz17aP
So I will read, I will dream,485Please respect copyright.PENANA00fnOxQxAg
And breathe life into the quiet once heard.
