Not What it Seems



You grip it’s spine,

turn the page.

Taking it for granted,

but it’s not what it seems.



A simple word,

a short conversation,

it creates a plot,

but it’s not what it seems



You skim the page,

not really reading it,

taking it for granted,

but it’s not what it seems.



To be absorbed into the story,

following every twist and turn

to see the princess locked up in the tower,

and the dragon’s mighty power.



Before you go to bed tonight

Think of that mighty dragon’s fight

the strength of the prince,

and how a simple page

can make all the difference.
