The Forest of Books That Never Sleeps🌛

Every Saturday,
around the time the date changes.

My spouse and I have a little pleasure.

It is going out to a 24-hour bookstore.

Once we finish the facial recognition at the entrance,
the store, wrapped in soft light,
quietly welcomes us.

In that moment, I always whisper to myself in my heart.

"Well then, into the forest of books again tonight😊📖"

To me, a late-night bookstore
is like a quiet forest.

The bookshelves are lined up like trees,
and every time I walk between them, new stories and worldviews I didn't know gently peek out.

"What kind of encounters will there be tonight?"

Thinking things like that, I pick up a book and walk slowly.

I really love that time.

People who visited after finishing work.

People who are enjoying their own time after finishing housework.

A couple reading a book together happily.

Everyone is quietly
spending their own night.

No one is in a hurry, and no one disturbs anyone else.

That gentle atmosphere
feels very comfortable.

"Let's come again"

To have a place where I can feel that way,
is a very happy thing,
I think every time I come to this forest.

Tonight, too, as I walk between the bookshelves,
I look forward to encountering a new book.

Tonight, the Forest of Sleepless Books once again,
quietly and gently welcomes,
the story of each person who visits.🤗📚🌛
