A Readers Bliss

Light dances along the many rows of colorful books in a waltz

Blissful silence echoes throughout the empty library

The stepladder groans under my feet as I climb to the top

Breathing deeply, the pleasing aroma of books fills my nostrils

An earthy scent of paper mixed with the slightest hint of dirt

Anticipation coats my lips as I reach for a thick fictional novel

I feel vibrantly alive as I bounce down the ladder book in hand

Eager as a baby in a candy store I hop into a plush ornate chair

Thin worn pages bend beneath my fingertips as I turn the page

I become engulfed into my book, greedily gobbling up the pages

As I read I am swallowed up into a world of magic and adventure
