Delving into those unseen cupboards

Delving into  those unseen  cupboards

Today  I  don the  robe of  curator
arranging  books in  shelves, dust
them  ; somewhere  in corner
or at  the  bottom  some crisp
references   tip  and  inspire ;  
 a  new  faces  still  to be
explored,  new  age to be delved
in the  ancient  format.  How 
unlucky  are  we not  to   come
across  and   open to know their
existence  still    incognito,
 to  read  into  their  content
  and  their  purport. As  unheard
melodies   are  sweeter,  those  books
are  more for knowledge and  solving
life’s problems.   What  should  I   do?
A  run to  Bodley  or  Oxford  would
Suffice  my  thirst  or  quest?  still  it  remains ,
as  dead and  living  all have   a
Soul inherent in  them, the  old
And  modern   writing – are embedded  with 
a  motif   if not a  miracle   and 
content intertwined . We  need to
reckon   with  the  spirit and
diligence  that  went into  the  make.
