Escapism

Last week it was bears
who had me enthralled,
or more specifically, an author
whose creations brought to life
the landscape, the people,
and the beautiful bears.
How wonderful to escape
into the pages of a book.

This week it was Hobbits,
Frodo and Sam. I watched
as they adventured to defeat
Sauron. They overcame adversities
while I lay in bed. They saved
the whole of middle earth
before I was even dressed.
The power of a story which
began on the page. Escape,
it seems, is what I need
to recalibrate.
