Miriam's Poems 🫶🏼

When I open a book, it’s like opening a portal to a different world,
A world so different than this one. A place where peace is not disturbed.

From within the leaves and words of pages, my soul feeds,
Although it’s all fiction, I feel a connection to the characters whenever my soul bleeds.

They said it was just a book, but to me it was something a lot more,
To me it's a distraction far from home and the front cover is the door.

The imagination is the window to many lands,
Slowly the new world surrounds me as I’m holding the book in my hands.
