The way to occupy your mind with dreams
Without having to invent them yourself.
The lazy way to dream,
To open a book and read!
Dreams enfold with every turn of a page.
The characters' feelings bleed from the pages and stain your hands red.
The story goes with you even after you lay the book down.
Detrimental or advantageous,
You don’t a choice now but to carry them with you.
A Stephen King book could cause more fear to pump through your veins than blood.
A Jane Austen could be as refreshing as a shower after a good, hard work out.
A self-help book could make you feel as if you drank a nasty protein shake, healthy but dissatisfied.
And an Agatha Christie could bring to your remembrance the many flaws in humanity.
But after setting the book down and leaving it untouched,
The easy dreams will eventually begin to fade and die,
The feelings once always with you will start washing away,
And what will be left?
Your feelings,
And your dreams.
