The Beauty within the Pages
By: Laura Otteson
The tempting voice that implores you to escape into the timeless realm of make believe
The attractive whiteness of the seemingly endless phenomenon
The intoxicating aroma that lifts from the white abyss.
The beautiful calligraphy that guides you deeper through a fantastical world.
This is the moment you’ve been waiting for – the moment where
You can finally escape your world into this unreachable Neverland.
It opens the creativity in you that has been enclosed for so long.
It keeps you guessing and hoping and desperately praying for more
But when that final piece of expression comes sneaking upon you
Your spirit descends from a once divine and delicate place
And brings you back to the intensity of reality
And for a brief moment, you plunge back into the memories that flood
Your mind of the place that you so desperately want to be
But is too far away from the place that you are.
Until the next time.
