Reading and Writing by Linksquest
Reading is Reality.
Writing is Fantasy.
When one reads,
The words written
Meld the present surroundings
Of the reader
Into the world imagined
By the writer.
This world is written
With tangible
black on white—
ink on paper—
so it must be so,
must be true,
must be living in the mind
of the reader.
When one writes,
The words written
Are fireflies,
Luminous flying flames,
Captured from the grassy fields,
The night-time lakes,
The softly glowing lanterns
Deep in crystal caves.
The writer brings
Fantasy into Reality
So that real people
May meet Fanciful People
And thus make friends with
The mermaids
And the faeries
From cool forest pools
And moonlit twinkling oceans.
Reading is Reality.
Writing is Fantasy.
But, perhaps,
The
two worlds
become one
When both
are done.
DO YOU FLY FOR FUN?!
