New Book

Have you ever opened a book

and seen the world inside

characters coming to life

right before your eyes?

Can you imagine how they appear

costume, eyes, 

the exact shade of hair?

Do their voices take on life

as you read what they say

inflections, and accents

taking shape in your mind?

Can you feel their experiences

sorrows, and joy

have you ever immersed yourself

inside of the story?

I love the feel of a brand new book

the scent of fresh pages

and having that very first look.
