"Dear Reader" poem


Another World

Words are mingling together
Sentences are forming magically
Meanings are running, slipping away
Just waiting for you to interpret
Do you know what's between the lines?

There your history all comes back
What you learn keeps interfering
Here your soul travels away
Emotions are ready to direct you
Have you any idea where can it take you?

Language connects you with reality
Images take you out of the world
You are living with other characters
Building solely your own plot
Do you know where you are now?

Thinking of what so far passed
Meditating what for once was right
You are open to new horizons
Logic weighs what has passed by
Will you ever say enough?
