I read me in them

 

Lines, pages, books

written over

seconds, hours, days,

decades, centuries.

Topics of love,

fear, faith, loss.

Words jumbled

re-arranged

tangled, framed.

One, dozens, hundreds

of writers

across time and space...

 

And my emotions,

my experiences,

are the same,

but I feel the distance

so great

it spans time and space...

I like the idea of how the reader can put themselves into their reading, be part of it, and at the same time there's something that always remains elusive. 

Enjoyed.

Thanks so much Bee. Too true :-) We get involved in the cycle from when we first begin to read... May more parents start the journey with their children. Have a great weekend $

They are indeed Rich, so much variety it's quite unbelievable. When I move, the book weight is always a consideration :-) Thank-you. Keep well. $
