Reading Fiction Just for Fun
With our eyes we see
See the words
Give meaning
Collect ideas
Fill inner world
With made up people
Made up ideas
Made up stories
The world seems forever busy
Just to stay alive
Takes so much precious time
Instead I would like to
Curl up with a book
Let the world go by
Turn off the TV
Turn on the music
Fall down the rabbit hole
Eat the fodder
That enriches life
Colors the narrative
Oh time
Precious time
Why have you forsaken me
I fall asleep reading you

Here is where we fall asleep and come wide awake! What a marvelous poem. It is my life!

Absolutely luv that stanza Annell

" I would like to
Curl up with a book

We humans seem to be adept at wasting time, don't we?
I especially love those closing lines......I travel nightly, and fall asleep reading......wonderful, Annell!
What with your art and your reading you probably don't have much time for much else. How beautiful to indulge oneself in this way.
I love this: I fall asleep reading you.
That is the trick.. how does one fall down that rabbit hole!
I often fall asleep, and find it frustrating. The rabbit hole is another story.
