Dusty

Marked
Filled with bookmarks
And dog-ears
And highlighter
And notes
And pieces of paper
But dusty.

Loved
Read and memorized
And shared
And thought about
And pondered
And written about
But dusty.

Filled
Stories and parables
And sermons
And lessons
And mistakes
And promises fulfilled
But dusty.

Dusty
Shelved and forgotten
And passed over
And dismissed
And needed
And occasionally thought of
But dusty.
