The Story Inside

There’s a feeling when you’ve read a book,

Consumed the entire thing,

And your world is shook

It’s left you desiring

To be in that place

With the characters you love,

And love to hate.

---

From pirate ships, dancing on the rolling waves,

To spies on adventures, or futuristic enclaves,

Within a book, lies beneficial potential,

Even if the connections are existential.

---

You’ve left your heart between the pages

With the warriors, dragons, and mages,

And turn your head up to the sky

Listlessly,

Wistfully,

Dreaming of being

A part of the story inside.
