Reading, surely must be

A form of magic

Only the power of the

Mind can unlock.

It is freedom, adventure

Wonder, a journey,

Apart from any other.

It is living in your own head

For a day, a week, two weeks, a month.

It is getting to know

People who don’t

Exist. It is

Loving them anyway.

It is friendship, love, anger, fear,

Happiness, sadness, betrayal, all between

These pages, words you only hear

In your subconscious.

Reading is the gateway to

All magic.

And a good book, it will live on

Inside of you, forever.
