Overlap Beach

Sacred and secular oceans of thought
Often overlap upon therapy's shores
And that beach, if edification is sought,
Is confirmed by modest scholarly chores.
Great concepts on that washed sand have mingled
Sourced from human brainpower most diverse.
And in their old books great thoughts were singled,
Where a newer mind is free to traverse.
Now the mind is awash and not the sand,
Like some old long lost eccentric cousin
That spends most of their time on dry land
Reading library books by the dozen.
And oh what a difference old books can make
Upon a dismal soul searching for daybreak!
