Closed Book-march 2007

As it lays all 365 pages
Bound by leather pillars which holds the content beneath
You view the shape, initially a geometrical figure
However it is the words within, which describe what you are seeking.
I cannot reveal what lays beneath, until a pause a gentle gasp.
Then you turn the page
One of many the hunger gains momentum to which you seek but cannot explain
Page by page the story unfolds
Is it yours to predict or is this what has been laid before you?
