The Librarian

Poetry by StuartSeptember 2, 2020August 30, 2020

The Librarian shuffles

🌑

His long rough beard

white as snow

His unkempt hair

white speckled grey

His robe once white

now a tired brown

🌑

The Librarian watches

🌑

Eager prying blue eyes

observe

Keen sharp ears

listen

Old gnarled hands

clasp a jewelled topped staff

🌑

The Librarian’s presence is felt

🌑

Why the Librarian

no one knows

They say

he is old as time itself

They know

he is a man to be feared
