A Page Can Change the World
A page can change the world
It can move a boulder effortlessly
Open the shades in the morning
And consume emotions and thoughts
It can live a thousand years
Reach millions of people
Influence countless rulers and teachers
And inspire great works of art
It can be as light as a feather
Or as loud as the Liberty Bell
It only appears to be quiet
Until it starts to ring
It remains in the finest of collections
A testament to recorded history
It holds the breath of the day
And the outpouring of a mind
Though the paper is delicate and fragile
The words are carved in stone
The thoughts are continually shared
In the memory of the page
