a lover of books
Josie
found everything she needed
in life
on the pages
between their covers
when others asked her
when she would find
true love
when she would
settle down
she smiled
and went on reading
not bothering to tell them
that she had had many loves
traveled to many places
seen many things
she had lived many lives
filled with beauty
and dreams
she had ridden dragons
learned spells from witches
stalked vampires
danced with a werewolf
visited Elizabeth Bennet
and her Darcy
she had been in deep space
walked on other worlds
met strange and wonderful beings
and
Josie knew
without a shadow of a doubt
that what people called "real" life
was a truly sad imitation
of the life
she was actually living
