The Threshold
By Toby F
Published 6 May 2019
A word is worth a thousand pictures,
If used the right way.
And there is no right way,
But the threshold might be a guideway.
The first turn of parchment
Was the first turn to a new world,
Where you can be anywhere,
Or let your mind be hurled
By a thousand-word army
That guards the gateway
To a world of impossibility
A threshold, if you may
For the words can only describe
The beauty within
A book
A threshold
Reading it is simply where you begin.
