Walk into a Book

Imagine if

Every book came with a key

A key that opened a door

Into the book

Into the worlds

That are your happy place

Escape from reality

Taken to a new level

The joy found in between the pages

Right in front of you

No longer ink on paper

But a tangible place

Imagine the possibilities

All the things you could do

If you were in a world

With kings and queens

Talking trees

With golden leaves

The love you yearn for

The love that keeps you up at night

Because the enemies didn't become lovers

Until 1 am

A type of love

That you could have

Once you step through that door

A type of magic

That swirled around you

Once you step through that door

Kissing in the rain

Stitching broken hearts

Swimming deep into the sea

And then flying through the sky

Imagine if you

Could open a door

Stained in ink

That led you to

A place with more then just letters

Imagine if you

Could walk into a book

    It wasn't one moment

    That made me fall in love

    With snowboarding

    I didn't stand at the top of the mountain

    As the wind whipped my hair

    And decided I loved to snowboard

    It wasn't the moment when

  • The Colors of America

    Red

    White

    And Blue

    The colors of America

    We parade down the streets

    Covered in these colors

    I wonder what our parade will look like

    This year

    Will we parade with joy

    Celebrate tragedies
