If music is a window
Poetry is a door
If atoms are the bricks
Then words are the cement
If breathing is how we live
Then books are our rebirth.
If an organ is our heart,
Then reading is my soul
If planes are transportation
Novels are our passports
If magic really does exist
I've already found it
Hidden between the covers
Of time worn papyrus
