Lost in a book

Contributed by softerware on Thursday, 18th April 2019 @ 03:16:00 AM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems

Books make us actors, page after page;
We’re puppets on strings on a dimly lit stage!
Ransomed astray by an author at play.

Time and reality tiptoe away.
While we climb in a book for a nice lengthy stay;
Out of ourselves to embrace come what may.

This is one of the reasons why I write. A quiet escape
in the midst of a noisy crowd. Time and reality
actually tiptoe away making room for a world of my
own making. We are all authors; our words allowing
us to brighten up the world like the millions of
twinkling stars spread throughout heavens at
midnight.

I write to get thoughts out of my head.
Like that song you can/'/t get rid of. Writing makes it go away. Great write Jaye...

You are singing to the choir. Books are my best friend. Also, my travel planner, my spiritual adviser, my fantasy granter, and a hundred other critical roles.

I owe more to books (or authors, to be accurate) than I could ever repay. thank you for summing up so tidily what would have taken me a book to expound upon. You do it in 48 words.

One of your many gifts.

I still get a book and fade away and lose time occasionally
it is almost a lost art

books with imagery, long and lengthy
books with superior prose, that arose anyones curiosity
books filled with straight-forward technical information, where you have to know the jargon first-hand to understand what the heck they mean.
Books and more Books,
And people who act out plays,
And people who recite poems
And people who sing

And time, and a collectivism of communication
And a lot to think about, and a lot
to learn about, And a lot of truth,

take you way back
take you way way way back
Oh, I think you remember,
Oh, I think you remember,
when life made more sense

The difference between making sense and
confusion.

Way way back,

old Van Morrison, my older sister, fifteen years older than I, sitting in her front room, in her very first house
where an upright piano sat,

the front room where nobody hung out,
just a piano, and Van Morrison back in 1972
way back then, when I understood

and it didn/'/t matter

Peace!
