THE WORLD TO ME

A wide open book
is the world to me,
each page an adventure
to places I've never been,
firing up my imagination
and setting me free
to roam,
to explore
places faraway
and nearby,
every day to travel
in every direction
under the sun,
oceans and deserts
and mountains so high
and touching the sky.

I can sail within the pages
on frigates and tall ships,
to places far-flung
all over the globe
and to the ends of the earth.
I can soar with my kite
above white puffy clouds
and swim with the dolphins,
and explore depths of the sea
as I happily read each word
of the books nestled
on the bookshelf
right next to me.

And somewhere between
awake and asleep,
as I close my eyes
for just a second
and put up my feet,
I put down my book
and sweet dreams
sweep in upon
a mountain breeze
and call my name,
as they overtake
my heart and my mind
transporting  me once again
to where I've just traveled
from my easy chair
through the pages
of the book I've read.
