The pages of the seaLike the waves of the sea,I let the words engulf me, carry me.With each tide that rolls, each page turns.The briny rhymes and stirring words;not a sound is heard, but my imagination.A ship sailing through each chapter.A quest, a rapture, an enchantment, adventure.It all unfolds and sways to me.I smell the pages, the musty old sea.Engrossed in the voyage;Knowledge and fantasy-Animated, amalgamated with binding; the shipA leather-bound fortress of dreams.And when my sea legs become wobbly,I simply raise the mast; bookmark the page and rest.For tomorrow is another day to dream.By Laura Cracknell © 2014
