My most popular poem on Instagram this week was “The Miracle of Reading”
Those who give
are never alone
And she had given over
two great gifts:
her attention
and her imagination
the great present
of her presence.
Those who receive
are never alone
and she had opened wide
inside
and gone to live
for a time
between the pages
of a book.
Treasured treasuring.
The miracle of reading.
