Read It. Feel It. Live It.


The paper crinkles underneath my fingers

As I turn the page.

 

A mesmerizing revelation unfolds

With each passing word,

Defying the limitations of the ordinary.

 

The scent is stale but unique. Pure.

Like that of an ancient mansion

With secrets behind every corner.

Those secrets are laid out before me

In the newest adventure to add

To my collection.

 

Everything I could want

Sits in my hands.

Every one has its own purpose;

Its own story waiting to be shared.

 

The world around me swirls itself

Into a world of fantasy,

Taking me to the depths of the impossible,

Inches away from reaching the realm

Of perfection with its magic.

 

This is always home.

 

This is always where I want to be.
