my Kindle Fire.
Never would I dream,
not made from paper.
My love affair with books
begun so young
has never ceased.
Suddenly, you came along,
turned my head, inflamed my heart.
Was it your color,
your sleek looks,
the weighty feel of you in my hand?
The luxury of never being caught
without a good book?
In truth, I must confess
it is the WiFi that lured me,
tempted me,
caused me to abandon
my long time love.
With you I check my email,
the weather forecast,
interact on Ravelry, Facebook,
Goodreads, Pinterst
with the lightest touch.
I can never abandon you,
my faithful book.
Our history is long,
intense, passionate.
But, we change.
Transitions,
transitions must occur.
We adapt, grow.
We change
and enlarge our lives.
I know, I believe
there is room for two.
You can co-exist,
together in my life,
my Kindle, my book.
