Our bodies are dust covers
Concealing what lies beneath
Each one special —distinct
***
Some thicker than others
A few come in a series
A story, an epic — unknown
***
Crack open your book to start an adventure
Travel to a distant land
Walk on beaches with hot white sand
***
Laugh, scream, cry along
Then, curl up — to read it again
Each page shows a different view
***
Taking you to a world far away
Magic in the words — every day
What a precious way to repay
***
Repay and honor a past you lived
Reading a life upon pages
Telling a story for the ages
Wonderful homage to books.

Such enchantment! I was transported to Mahe, a tropical Island washed by the warm Indian Ocean. I was there under a clear azure blue sky, a cool ocean breeze caressing my body. The hot white sands tingle my soles. Fond memories of a glorious time spent there some years ago. Your words took me back. You have a gift of extraordinary proportions Eleanor- thank you.
Blessings upon your day.
