She sat there in a corner
On her favourite couch

With fog on her glasses
From the cup of tea in her hand

A book in another hand
As she deeply indulges herself in reading

She smiles as the characters
Talk and express among themselves

She cries as the book comes to an end
Dreaming of life the characters lived

She catches her breath
Each time the climax grows near

She is deaf to the surroundings
The book is all she can hear now

She is completely lost in the words
Black & white flying in her head

Sparkling and connecting the circuits
Inside her brain, shining bright

And each time, she found herself
Indulging in a new experience, the book took her along.

Author’s Note: Dedicated to all the readers and bookworms out there! Happy Reading!
