• Silence
    all but the flipping pages,
    my steady breathing,
    my heartbeat.
    Lost
    in the printed words,
    in someone's life,
    in another world.
    Isolated
    from my own story,
    from the people I know,
    from everything.
    Captivated
    by the twists and turns,
    by the author's,
    by the book.
    Ending
    the conflict of the plot,
    the story and characters,
    the pages I turn.
    Brought back
    to the world around me,
    to me own story,
    from a happy ending.
