With the Books

 

He ran within the landscape
the trench was deep and dirty
snow on all around him
and bullets peppered the ground

He fled on skis
dodging trees and rocks
as the alien ship
traverse the midnight skies above

He fell into the ocean city
almost forgotten, now a mere myth
Atlantis the sunken world
where fantastic beings lived

He walked on the great Sundaland
listening to the people
understanding their way of life
tribal but elegant in its starkness

He stood on the shores of Lemuria
awe and wonder overwhelmed him
magic and mystery captivating him
as he watched everything enchanted

He closed his book
put it back on the shelf
Made sure its bookmarked
where he had left off

He snuggled into his blanket
his adventures done for the day
distantly heard the sounds of Jumanji
continued his adventures in his dream
