She walks by and sits near the window
Now oblivious to her problems and sorrow
The world around her slowly fades away
Finding comfort in the words that lay
I watch her unfurl each page of adventure
Meeting new people and strange new creatures
I watch her for quite a while
There are times when I catch her smile
Oh, how beautiful she can be when she's reading
No one knows whether she's dancing or flying
An hour seems like a mere second
As she's consumed by the world that lies beyond
She stares at the book with eyes the color of the sky
Yes, she's in a trance but then I realize -- so am I.
