Reading

Amid the awe striking pages,
Between the very lines, a message hidden,
A secret to be revealed,
In an adventure of a lifetime,
Horror, humor, hate, happiness,
Behind you leave your life,
Unconscious of surroundings,
Up into the clouds it takes you
So very far away Inside a world of imagination,
Where mythical creatures can exist,
Down into yourself,
To the center, the core of being
Without stopping to rhyme,
Among different creatures, places, and times,
From those delightful pages,
A plot to be thought,
A tale to be told,
To the exciting end,
The antagonist revealed
Or a hero to save the day,
Now, you couldn’t have suspected it would end that way
and now that you’re done nothing can stop you from reading again.
