Reading Into This Poem
Reading
I read quick snatches at a time,
Whether it be fiction, prose or rhyme.
I steal time from every other day,
To read what choice pages have to say.
To say there’s no time to read is a self crime;
An intellectual stunting, surreal as it is sublime.
Find time to eat, to bathe, to read,
Find time to do all the things you necessarily need.
I’ve always had a book or two at hand,
To absorb new words and new concepts to understand.
Take ten minutes of every day
Turn the pages - read the words at play.
Envision a new world in your mind
A different perspective of time you’ll find.
