Paper Fantasy

Lost in a book, 

I stare at aged pages, 

Gazing at typed words, 

Peering into fantastical worlds

The stress of reality closing in, 

Squeezing so tight, 

I fade away

My mind escapes 

Into an unknown place, 

One of mystery, one of myth, 

One different from where I truly live

Within these paper walls, 

Snuggled next to splotches of ink, 

I slowly close my eyes, 

Falling into a magical dream
