Heart bounding, mind racing, As hungry eyes devour each word. The smell of weighted paper, Feel of compressed fiber, acute. Images evolving between The lines of prose and poetry. Inner narrator takes center stage. Drowning out mundane chatter. Perusal of verbiage, intoxicating. Translation of characters, enticing. All of this turn of phrase, Resulting from the turn of a page. Welcome! All comments are encouraged in my literary journey.. Yours, MH
