Me and My Books

Me and my Books

I read

My mind takes flight

Soaring through the pages

Of a favorite book

I no longer see the words in front of me

The letters that create a world

I’m in that world

Created by the author

I smell what the characters smell

Taste what the characters taste

I’m in their world

And I don’t want to leave

I distantly hear my mother calling me

But I’m to absorbed to care

I feel the pages

Between my fingers

The crinkling paper

Is oddly satisfying

I’m in a fantasy world

Where I belong
