Bookends

A pair
of bookends
found together 
in store 
brought home 
and treasured
separated slowly 
by stories
of adventure 
and reflection 
of chaos
and peace
farther apart 
farther still 
then slowly 
as each 
fable wanes 
loses interest 
the closer 
we became 
until at
last together 
side by
side as
begun and 
as meant
