Open a book, and there it is

The salty spray, colorful fish.

The creaky boards underfoot

The crackly, worn leather boots.

The white, torn and saddened sails

The freeing smell of the gales.


Turn the page, and yet again,

Up ahead, a bear's den.

There, o'er yonder, the sun is setting

Nothing beautifuller, that I'm betting.

The wind rustles through the trees

I fall asleep to the hum of the bees.


Yet again, in another chapter,

There you are in the city's chatter.

Lights ashine, and broadway's alight

No stars up ahead in the dark night.

But then again, who needs the little glow

From the stars above when we see the below?
