What lovelier way to unwind can be found
than to visit a realm where ideas abound?
As the mind wanders free to unfetter the heart,
serendipity sweeps in; and worlds far apart
are conjoined in the rush of imagined and real,
rearranging the way that we see, think, and feel.
On the wings of such liberty, worries take flight.
Possibilities bloom in a field of delight.
Any spirit can soar when the very sky sings
of creation and all the good gifts that it brings.
Is it true? And if so, where on earth does one look?
Ah, that's easy, my friend. Simply open a book.

Sometimes I think I would rather read about things than actually do them. Sometimes.
Beautiful. Love the pictures that you found.
So true - a good book can take me away like nothing else!
Lovely post! I look to books all the time to gt away!
The best place to get lost and to be found. Really uplifting poem, Sue.
For sure! I find reading perfect for unwinding.
Books truly allow you to travel to faraway places! Well done!
One of the YW in my ward asked me if I would read the Fablehaven series since it's her favorite. I'm addicted!! My mind is truly in another world when I'm reading. I LOVE books!
Love this!
Books can open up unimaginable universes...
Very unique post for the letter "U"!

I'm back from my blog hiatus and am making my way around blogosphere to visit all of my lovelies who came by while I was gone. I love how whimsical this poem made me feel. Great job!
