You reap what you sow


The vellum book housed
on the high altar
it's tales so highly purported.
.
Known once to all as
thee holy psalter
it's value was somehow distorted.
.
One day it just vanished
into the moss
of a bog beneath Fadden More.
.
The book of fiction was
thought to be lost
found the year that they did explore.
.
It caused us that time
to reminisce
about that age so long ago.
.
How pages so dear
could go amiss
perhaps they were trying to sow.

I love your thought processes. Your poems seem to elicit some sort of thinking from readers. Thanks for sharing. I hope I don't ever lose any of my older books. Have a nice day.
