Pocahontas

They pile their shelves with the latest titles and turn
To see you reading carefully in the chair by the window.
They stamp your book and give you a discreet look
in the Carnegie library.

Between the lines, you catch silence like a dream catcher.
In the unseen woods and forests, your spirit moves:
Did the Vikings or the Irish first discover America?

On the ocean, you will venture
and have a kingdom of books at the end of the quest.
Wisdom beyond your years,
like the innocence of Pocahontas.
