A Poem Made by a Picture

Reading

It takes you to sit without anyone distracting you.
Reading is a new world without anyone around.
You enter a new perspective and look at things from a different view.
The pages stare at you and look how beautiful you are while you read.

It takes you to build up hope.
The protagonist makes you excited.
Even when they struggle, you encourage them to move forward.
You tell them to not do something because you know that they would be in danger if they do.
You enter as a new omnipresent survivor and take care of the character all the way.

It takes you to leave the place that you are to become omnipresent in another person's life.
You don’t want to change the plot, but you want to change the danger.
You fear the antagonist will rule over the protagonist.

It takes courage to read the tough parts.
You need to be strong all throughout.
Even if there isn’t a Prince Charming with a slipper to save the day,
Or a Spider-man to risk his life for a girl.

It takes you to go far way.
A secret place where no one knows you.
A place of green pastures as quiet as the deserts.
The grass gives a massage to your feet, while the little ants crawl up on top of your book and read along.

It takes you time, but you would enjoy it.
You analyze the text closely and when you find the symbol,
“Oh, that’s why this happened?”
You begin to see a different way of life without judging.

It takes you to change your mood and bad habits.
You become as calm as the ocean.
Thoughts come to your mind as a cheetah trying to get his prey.
You mood changes as a thermometer.
You begin to develop new skill and a new way of life as you learn a different lifestyle that you want to be like.

It takes an open mind.
Your mind is loud.
It speaks to you things that you might not want to hear.
It takes of your hat and let’s you understand that there is no shade in a sunshine.

Reading is a practice of life
Have you tried being present in an important person’s life?
Have you tried warning about danger?
Have you tried not judging others?

It takes love to live life the way you read.
With reading you do what you don’t do with life.
