In the quiet of a dusky room,
Where shadows dance and thoughts bloom,
I find a world within my grasp,
As I turn the pages, slow and fast.

Each word a key to a hidden door,
To lands unknown, to ancient lore,
With every sentence, a new delight,
Reading through the day and night.

Characters come alive, breathe and speak,
Their stories strong, their futures bleak,
Yet in these tales, I find my peace,
A sanctuary where worries cease.

So let me wander, let me explore,
The endless realms that books restore,
For in the whisper of pages turned,
A reader’s heart is forever earned.
