I started reading again
I started with a little ladybird book
and now I read books the size
of encyclopedias to no end
I read so much
I lose track of time
I lose track of existence itself
It has become my best pleasure
I would rather stay indoors reading
than outdoors chasing the moonlight
It has opened a part of me I had forgotten
a sense of right direction
It locks me away from the chaos
It keeps the storms at bay
It's strange that the mere act of reading
has provided me a deep sense of self-discovery
I didn't know I needed
A sense of direction I thought I had lost.
