Books

Sitting by the window

On a lovely summer day

Held in magical sway

Trance- like, ascending.

Books carry me on angel wings

To distant lands, across oceans and streams

On pebble sands,

Across rushing rivers

Skies dusted with stars

Through battles and wars

Triumphs and scars.

Down memory lane

Golden sunshine, autumn rain

Joy, bliss, sorrow and pain.

Swirling in magical realms

Into land of dreams

Books! Panacea for all ills,

My therapy and pills

My richest treasures, my pride

My friend, mentor and guide.
