Book of Words

My book of words 

is a testament to rapture,

a mimicry of treasures I find

outside the book – leaves

in a tracery of lace on sky, 

clouds like angels 

vastly soaring aloft, 

liquid-throated calls 

of currawongs ... do you see

how my book of words

frees these delights 

and countless more
each time I open the cover?

Written for Words Count with Mama Zen at 'imaginary garden with real toads': a poem of up to 60 words, preferably entitled 'Book of Words', and including three words from a list of her children's favourites. (My three are 'testament', 'rapture' and 'mimicry'. Great words, kids!)
