Slowly
Chew on every letter and every word
Hit pause on the flashing world
Take a break after the furious day
She read books in the moonlight
No longer limited to the standards of others
No longer operating endlessly like a machine
Here
under the stars
she read and imagined
Imagined dragons and wizards
Traveled around the world in 80 days
Met her soulmate
And saved the day
She read in the moonlight
And dreamed under the stars
No longer held down by the world
But soaring in her own
