Into Another Place.

I sit there reading my book

And suddenly I am no longer there.

I have slipped helplessly,

Slipped involuntarily

Into the words on the page

Taking me to the life

That the author has created.

It could be a world of mystery,

Of love or hate,

Of humour or sadness,

But I am out of my body

Enjoying that life,

Created for me to read.
