A Poetic Moment Exploring how Reading can be Akin a Mental Adventure

Daily writing prompt
What book are you reading right now?
Tea brewing, music soft, good book and snacks at the ready,
A moment to read for pleasure’s set awaiting ones attention,
Irrespective one be dragged away later or not is kinda irrelevant,
As the world the plot takes one to should fully grasp in this quiet screen free moment ones comprehension,
Thus feel akin a reseting for ones mind regardless if the clock records minutes or hours…

Be it a newer authors work whisking one to a new perspective on a fairytale of old,
Where pirates are the heroes for the original ones had sketchy ways for their moment to unfold,
Or something darker you’ve at hand to delve ~ nevermore to behold your perspective the same,
For it’s evolved through the seraphic reading of your current choice thus levelled up ones mental game,
Unless you’ve truely fallen down a rabbit hole and choose to study a topic that’s manuals feel like a reading pleasure then you’ve a whole different abundance to gain;

Therefore when escaping into a realm for a mental adventure one need always only ensure,
That it resonates with your core enough to fully whisk you off to the universe it has in store,
Otherwise one is just reading for the sake of reading which considering the finite time of human life is kinda something to abhor,
Especially when the growing abundance of stories in our world means there’s a style out there for each to adore,
Though finding it some find to be the most horrific of ~ in their mind ~ unnecessary chore.

Yet for those whom have the courage and ability to venture on a reading quest to find their preference,
Despite the world around them being in a near constant state of crazy near ever changing indifference,
’Tis guaranteed they’ll evolve in ways unimaginable just through opening the cover of the right book,
Never to return to their previous thoughts as they’ve been energetically flushed along a mental brook,
With the assistance of fairy dust and a raven grounded in sciences enchanting hook.

Hence allowing ones mind an escape when ones physical cannot take a holiday,
For mentally venturing into the mystical pages of another’s creation can be just as blissful,
Allowing one when fully engrossed to enjoy a similar effect without the stresses hidden in a physical getaway,
And often loaded with more than one could do ~ adventures and mayhem one could never partake in,
That can bring an element of balance to ones life one would otherwise never even suspect to parlay.
