Smile as the crisp pages
Dance between your fingers.
Take in one word after the other
As the other before it still lingers.
The page blows a breeze
That caresses your face.
The smell of the new and of the old
Leads you to a whole new, wondrous place.
A new life in your hands
Awaiting your eager eyes
And the calculating brains within.
Escape -- the most marvelous prize.
This simple text
Has changed so right away.
It's now a tale
These words convey.
More than anything
You have ever known.
An exciting adventure
Before you, shown.
This elaborate compilation
Of creativity and heart
Allows beauty in paperback
To on you impart.
And as the pages are left behind,
So is space
And life and time.
Being nowhere, no how, no place.
Living at your fingertips.
Captivated.
Your heart and your mind and your soul.
Activated.
Read and reread
To your heart's desire
As every page
Takes you higher and higher.
The simplicity
Of comprehension
Provides for us
A new dimension.
My love,
A getaway.
My life,
Until it wears away.
