The angler-

a world away from troubled minds, fishing
with a book rather than a hook
not in a brook
but in the ocean of life
in the vastness of the deep
secrets that the water keeps
along the sea of shelves
with each turn of the tide-page
with each fresh cast, he dredges up
a new catch-love, bravery, glory ,adventure
and also disappointment
but the last cast, cranes up
a tome of much sought species-peace
that crams his heart-creel, for ever dear.

A well captured scene on books and reading, each tome a fresh cast that reels in emotions and vicarious experiences ultimately peace which is a highly priced catch. Both vivid and contemplative, it celebrates the transformative power of reading.
