When you lay your hands on the soft leather cover,
And flip open the novel,
You feel a sense of extensive ecstasy,
Taking you to paradise,
Your heart lifts, enlivened for the story that awaits,
As your brain starts to ponder,
Processing the glorious chronicle that unfolds,
Absorbing every exquisite factor,
Your heart stays with the protagonist,
Rooting during battles and mourning during misery,
Suffering the tribulation of losses, and celebrating the triumphs,
Our hero invariably retains our hearts,
A book is a sensation,
That cannot be denied,
The story within is a wonder that unfolds,
A book is an unblemished composition.
