A Novel

As I turn the pages forward
I am taken on a journey-
A non-spatial continuum-
Time; a willing time-traveler
Where no luggage is required;
No passengers to contend with;
No special itinerary.
Just a conceding eagerness
To be taken along, alone.
The destination known to one-
Invisible but trustworthy;
The varied characters are him;
Put another way-imagined.
Where I’m taken is foreordained.

We do seem to put the world aside when we are immersed in a good novel, Albert. I always appreciate the "journeys" they provide. This is a wonderful poem filled with truth. And I really enjoyed the poem you posted on your blog. It's hard for those of us who live near the Gulf to think of anything but the oil spill. Love, Carolyn
