The Power Of Fiction
My love of books changes the mood that I’m in.
And engages me in a life other than my own.
A life that I can relive in my mind
And feel love, loss, joy, and despair in my heart.
The power of storytelling can make me feel young or old,
A mystery writer like Edgar Allan Poe
Or a master in brilliant colors like Michelangelo.
A gymnast with artistic expression,
Or a leisure bicyclist riding along the road.
Or on a luxurious voyaging Caribbean ship,
Or a pirate ship raiding the seas.
Hiking in the beautiful wooded mountains,
Or freshwater fishing off the shore or in a small boat.
I can be Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson solving a mystery.
I can laugh with all my heart and soul,
Or I can grieve a death.
The power of fiction can empower me to be anything I want to be.
Tense, to create my own reality
Create my own world in my mind
The mind is so creative when given a vision,
A feeling; one can create and escape into it.
