Waves of words wash over her
transporting her through
space and time
to other realms
where dreams come true
and the adventurer knows no bounds.
Riding the White Horses of the Camargue
Dancing with Wolves
Searching for The Beach
She journeys to the Centre of the Earth
explores King Solomon’s Mines
and witnesses the Return of the King.
Laying aside her book
she drifts, dreams,
and the waves of words
still wash over her.
Written in response to Sadje‘s ‘What Do You See #3‘ photo prompt.
A wonderful take on the Prompt. Love your imagination and use of the words.

I really like this one Chris! My favorite part is the end, where the waves of words continue washing over her. That’s such a good expression of how we feel after reading an absorbing story!
