I'll write the words
Trying to get that
Complicated thought out
Of what I say, so here I go

**********

A pen is a passageway
From the world to a story
Reading and understanding
Is like you're there as well

Details are written
To give you an idea of things
The scenery
The feeling and tone

Read all of this and then
You'll be with the characters
In a forest or a city
A house or an apartment

That's why you feel sad at the end
Because you became friends
With those characters
And now they're gone

Don't worry there are thousands of books
You say to yourself
But you know there won't be one
Like the one you just read

You search far and wide
Then learn there's a sequel
You search for it
And you find it

At last
You yell grabbing the book
All mine
You pay and go home

To curl up and join your old friends
And their great adventures
