Her New Friends

It's been a long time 
Since she went out from that building  
It's better to call it a cage than a building 
It was simply a place of 
No freedom, no hobbies , no outings 
No use to explain herself to the people there as most lived their life to the fullest and ready to relax while the others were busy with their own things and interests
As it follows the same routine every day 
Nothing new or fresh but have to stay there forever

One such day she fell in love with books 
And there ends her loneliness 
She found out new friends all around the world
And they told their tales to her 
Sometimes painfully , sometimes  mystically 
Sometimes humorously , Sometimes vigorously 
Some of her friends were honest and some were liars 
She loved both with same heart 

She was on the cloud nine when they spare time for her and share their stories expecting nothing in return 
which were something she longed for many years 
She accompanied them to their places with high enthusiasm 
No matter whether it is a landscape or desert
No season block her mind from going there
She got introduced to thousands of new lands
and new culture and simply became a bird
who needs no passport to travel all around the world 


Some friends leave her alone with the last page of the book
Some stays a little more time and others forever 
What makes her happiest is she is getting new friends consistently something she missed for years
No exaggeration is there in saying books and stories are the best medicines for loneliness

Good for you and your books. I love quotes and classical Poetry. I cannot read much anymore, vision problems. But when I was younger, you never found me without a book! My best friend in Chicago has run a Great Books Club for decades! Books are available on audio, too. But have yet to buy one. Too busy writing poetry. Even then, my eyes have limits. Welcome, book lover. Love your poem! Pangie xx
