About this listen

 Pages turn, they hold my heart, Books that teach, where my soul would start. Some were friends, steady through the years, Some were lovers, drowning out my fears. Rumi’s fire, Rilke’s dawn-lit call, They loved me back when I gave my all. Not just words, but a home I’d find, Truth that lives beyond the mind. From knowledge to life, I’m learning to be, The story I live is the one that’s free. Books that loved me, they saw my soul, Made me feel seen, made me feel whole. Not in pages, but in what I do, Living the truth that I always knew. Books that loved me, they set me free, My life’s the story I’m meant to be. Some were fathers, strict with their rules, Built my world with their disciplined tools. Others like mothers, soft in their care, Mary’s poems, Pema’s truths so rare. Some were brothers, pushing me to grow, Challenged my heart where it feared to go. Not just words, but a home I’d find, Truth that lives beyond the mind. From knowledge to life, I’m learning to be, The story I live is the one that’s free. Books that loved me, they saw my soul, Made me feel seen, made me feel whole. Not in pages, but in what I do, Living the truth that I always knew. Books that loved me, they set me free, My life’s the story I’m meant to be. I hoarded books, afraid to let go, Thought they held me, but now I know. Some I’ve left, donated, set free, Outgrown their echo, no longer me. But those that stay, they’re more than ink, They’re love, they’re truth, they’re how I think. Books that loved me, they saw my soul, Made me feel seen, made me feel whole. Not in pages, but in what I do, Living the truth that I always knew. Books that loved me, they set me free, My life’s the story I’m meant to be. No more hiding in pages I read, Truth’s in the life that I live instead. From the shelf to my heart, I’m writing it now, A story worth living, I’m making that vow. Books that loved me… I’m whole, I’m true.July 13, 2025 at 8:16 AM
