Hours of Words

There is 
contentment, this 
gray day, in sitting 
cocooned in my 
comfy armchair, 
feet up and blanketed, 
savoring the 
hours of words that launch
me far from 
here.

    Reading is the best for that. Love this image, "cocooned in my
    comfy armchair," a reality all should enjoy on a day like today.

    This is a perfect glimpse into the joy of reading. Love the lines, "hours of words that launch me far from here"

    Ellen, your words are so simple yet convincingly true.

    So, so true, and clearly framed.

    Ellen, I love the poem’s contrast between the physical body being safe and sound, snuggled into your chair, and the freedom of the mind, a traveler to worlds far, far away.
