Reading in Progress
A poem
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!
