My eyes wander down the page

As I consider the wisdom 

This book provides

My hand turns the page 

As I enter the story                        

These words create

My body tingles with anticipation

As I start the next chapter

The author has written

My mind swells with visions

Of dragons and knights, of castles and princes;

Of fearsome pirates and brave magicians;

Of Kings and Queens and spoils and riches;

Of rebellions, and wars and peace and prosperity;

Of triumph and victory, of loss and injury;

Of good and evil, success and complexity

I read on.
