Ripening of old age, <br />Yellowing faded words. <br />Unseen by friends for centuries, <br />Friends and foes alike. <br /> <br />Knowledge to be known, <br />Seeds of wisdom sown. <br />It waits by a wall in darkness, <br />waiting for an heir.<br /><br />Mandy Lee<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-book-18/
