Reading A Book, Being The Book

I've been to Wonderland, Neverland, the Galactic Empire, and Mordor.
I've met Alice, Peter Pan, Obi-wan, and Hodor.
I'm not an astronaut but I'd been to outer space, and different parallel universes.
Flabbergasted as I watched different lives and stories intersperses.

I've seen declarations of love and war and everything in between.
I've smelled the sweet aroma of success and the pungent odor of betrayal.
I've heard the boisterous laughter of children, and the mournful cry of someone from Lorien.
I've tasted the visceral fear of change and the bittersweet symphony of different plot twists.
I've felt the excruciating pain of being excluded, and the elating sensation of belonging.

I've solved puzzles and mysteries with intricate network of triviality.
Traveled a land untraveled  with such passion, fervency, and and great whimsicality.
Flew the skies of great horizons and deep realizations.
Swam the seas of muted communications and unending interactions.

I've been to Wonderland, Neverland, the Galactic Empire and Mordor.
I've seen declarations of love and war and everything in between.
I've solved puzzles and mysteries with intricate network of triviality.
All these I've done, a book in my hands, slumped down on a couch.

Read a book. It's a story with a soul.
Read a book. It's an open window to someone's thoughts.
Read a book. It's the metaphor of metaphors.
Read a book. Be in the book. Be the book.
