Rubies and emeralds they are, resting amongst the brown and upright leather pillars, gold dusted by the sun. Motes in the sunbeams playing, dancing on dusty, gold-tooled leather spines amongst which gleam those of deep ruby, those of dark green like emeralds. Well used and worn, now scarcely read these ancient tomes, yet they�re old friends upon my shelf I wouldn�t be without.

I have quite a few of those myself...when I see these beautiful old books at antique stores, second hand stores, or yard sales...I can't turn away, it's as if they call my name. I love them, the way they look, feel, smell, and the stories between the covers well...I can't say enough...great write my friend, enjoyed this very much. Enjoyed! Glad I stopped by this early morning!
Blessings,

Wonderful poem, my friend, and absolutely right! I have several of these "old friends" myself, and wouldn't part with them for the world!

A wonderful ode to them, Loretta; I've got some old friends just like them that I could never part with.
