Mahri Flannery
I pay a dollar or two
I buy a world
trapped within
paper
When opened I find
an escape from reality
Seeing stories of lives
different than mine
play out on paper and pen
Emotion filled leaves
rustle as I turn them
words paint a picture of fantasy
Hours lost admiring another’s dream
The power of feeling
is shown through words
As I close one
I reach for another
