Description

You find my books here 

Written upon the whisper 

Of an electrical thread, Nay less,

A whisper on a wave 

That passes through your head

On its way to your device.

But I tell you that what I write 

Is written in heavy volumes

Upon indestructible paper

Bound with adorned leather

And illustrated with vibrant colors,

And that those books are guarded 

In the unseen library above

Where they will not perish.

I write, not for the day,

But for the age.

I write not to the few,

But for each and every soul

Throughout the width and breadth of eternity

Who might be benefited thereby,

And I trust the unseen hand 

To dispense my work

Through unseen carriers of light

To each and every soul who longs for what I am,

Or rather, what he has made of me

And may just as easily destroy.

But know this, each word,

If it is His, if it reflects

The library on high,

Has always been

And will remain

When the libraries of men

Decay and crumble away to dust.

And I think, why write, if not unto this end?
