Reading
Reading is like watching a movie
In your head
Creating images of places
And people.
Words come to life
As they dance across the pages
Every second
minute
hour
day
I live to discover the mysteries
Between each line
Every second
minute
hour
day
I search for blissful conclusions
the best ones though
are unexpected
just as a weatherman predicts rain
but the sun shines bright.
The greatest lessons are usually learned
the hard way.
Juat like 9/11
as the buildings tumbled
the world knew
life was rather precious.
Everyone has a story to be told.
Write it down.
So I can read it out
read it to the world
discover life
in your point of view.
Are you twisting down a spiral tube?
Or are you
smiling with pearly whites dancing
with friends?
Either way
there will be a lesson learned.
When you read you receive knowledge
When you read you learn to empathize
When you read you expand your left brain
This is because when you read you are no longer Katelyn, John, or Sera.
NO
No, now you are a reader.
Now you can enjoy this life and go down
dark paths
with a book and smile on your face.

My name is Katelyn Fast and I have a deep passion for reading and writing. This poem explains the joy I feel when I read. I truly believe everyone has a story they can and should tell. You never know what may come out of it. For example this poem started as a school assignment but then my Language-Arts teacher suggest I submit it here. I hope that someone will read this and and understand exactly how I feel as I enter a new world!
