I have found the dragon books
Where stories are told, of chivalry

Dare not try to take them
For I lived these tales, so vividly

Each page, now burned with words
Every breath I took, now written

Makes me feel quite wonderful
In fact, I’m really smitten

With myself, these days, I journey
To find the rest of my family

Bound together by human hands
In some place called a library

I hear they have many books there
I really cannot wait to see

I hope they let me through the door
So I can finish my dragon tree!

Always hiding, within a book

Never glancing out, to take a look

Delph the Elf, was a studious guy

Never cared much for Santa, but why?

No one knew, twas a puzzle to all

How could he do this, oh what gall!

Christmas was near, the children, excited

Yet this little elf would stay home, he decided

He sat on his chair, day after day

Night after night, he liked it this way

See, he didn’t care, he kept to himself

Thankful for not being stuck on a shelf

Old books sitting on a shelf

Not sure if I’ve read them all myself

Bindings with edges, chipped and peeling

Make them seem ever more appealing

Thinking I should open them up, peruse

Wondering which one I should choose

I’ve decided, this is the perfect book!

I’ll get lost in the waves with “Captain Cook”

A spirit held within a book
She wished upon a dream
Scattering dandelion seeds
Like a pixie, she did scheme

Page by page, twas magic
She made them dance in rhyme
From fantasy to tragic
Every word was quite sublime

So, when the pages filled
And no more could be contained
Another flower did she pick
To spread the seeds, again

Spilling from pages, in mysterious ways

Spirits unfold, in a mystical haze

Open the book, and magic appears

Bound, indeed, to the celestial sphere

Floating on air, they dance as you read

Wafting with words, is all that they need

To bring you life, from the far beyond

Watching you closely, as you respond

To the joys they breathe, and you take it all in

Turning the pages, again and again
