Where the Story Begins

""Open the book and I fall in
down deep into the hole
of tales of far off lands
and places my mind constructs
based upon the magical
words of a writer
Open the book and I fall in
lost for hours
page after page
not hearing a thing
my eyes absorb the
words of a writer
Open the book and I fall in
deeply engrossed in the story
my heart beats with the rhythm of the
words of a writer
Open the book and I fall in
and recognize these words
for they are my own
the words of a writer
Where the Story Begins is a collection of raw, honest, emotional poems that reflect a life lived so far. Open the book and fall into a writer's love letter to herself and her dreams.""
