Sanctuary

Book in my hand,
Sentences beneath our fingers.
Through it, we find shelter.

Lost in a nameless land,
Then taking on a new role.

Showered by golden rays,
Washed by the whispering winds.
Put on our glasses and tune out everything.

Turning the page,
Writing a new chapter. 

Together,
Let’s take a peek at our bookmarked place
Staring at the happy ending or lamenting it—

After all,
We vanish from the pages of time.
