The Special Silence of a Public Library

By Saywisely

1 min read Sep 3, 2024
It is a silence that's alive,
Where a thousand different stories thrive.
The gentle turn of a crisp page,
Regardless of the reader's age.

A muffled cough, a shuffling shoe,
A world of thought, both old and new.
A quiet that is built, not found,
On this most sacred, common ground.
