A place, a thought, a dream, a commodity racing through your brain,
Creative and imaginative to make the blank unplain,
It could be anything, it could be everything, and nothing just as well,
A story line of something, you could make it however you tell,
A liberty, a symphony, it is music in your ears,
It makes you feel, appreciate, beg for more, as each scene appears,
A wonderous freedom by yourself, you enter another realm,
Ink spilling on a page, it could definitely overwhelm,
It's written to give a message to try and teach you better,
For this is an enchanting story you thirst to go on forever,
It is much more than just some words on a miniature A5 page,
It could make you tingle inside and bring out a frightening rage,
The words like stars splashed across the night sky,
Crystal diamonds glittering like tears from your eyes,
I've been everywhere in the universe, transported from place to place,
Reading is like one ever going and never ending race!
