Within the book's embrace, I find my peace,

Unleashing worlds where I can truly be,

From daily stress, I find sweet soul release,

Through pages woven with life's tapestry.

 

Imagination soars, boundless and free,

In tales that grip my heart and mind, I'm lost,

Through written words, my true self I decree,

A true escape, feeling no more frost.

 

Adventure and intrigue, both intertwined,

Within the depths of text, I'm not alone,

From mundane worries, I am unconfined,

In vibrant stories, dreams begin to hone.

 

Oh, reading, my sweet refuge and escape,

A journey to a world I model and shape.
