Sunny afternoon
nothing planned but for me to enjoy
the sun and my book,
my retreat from reality
As time flows by
words come alive
as they paint pictures in my mind
people, places,things
I love to travel through the pages
to places near or far
the sights never cease to amaze
whether natural beauty or apocalyptic chaos
Falling through time
phasing through worlds
meeting new faces some from great distance
rejoining old friends for another adventure
Is it wrong throughout time
that I long for these journeys
through pages, through time
through my imagination
that characters live and characters die
but I always have to return
to reality?

Memories are never wrong. A quiet time to leaf through the pages of our lives can be quite revealing. We often are reminded of the lessons we have learned along the way. Beautiful entry! Best wishes.
