Lost Within the Book Shelves

A rainy day, is the perfect time
To escape for a while, to a place that is all mine
Above my head, A rocky sky
Imbedded in it, are florescent lights

Row upon row, in front of me
Are shelve of books, as far as I can see
Mystery, romance, Sci-Fi, and more
With each chapter, another story to explore

I close my eyes, and grab a book
And snuggle into my cramped little nook
A fairytale awaits for me
I wonder what this one will be

I find that with each passing hour
I lock myself deeper within my internal tower
I lose myself within the pages
But when I come back Its like I’ve been gone for ages

A heartfelt story, is all it takes
To make your heart pump, and fingers shake
Intuition helps me to relate
And levels off my overloaded plate

With each story, that I read
I unlock a hidden seed
I hear everything, taste, feel and smell
I’m slowly finding myself, within the book ridden shelves
