A gateway to a different dimension

Allow me to experience the life of another

You encompass a range of scents -

     from an old and worn essence to a fresh-off-the-printer

     fragrance

Your crisp clean pages welcome my overburdened mind

     into a world unknown to my reality

In my years as a reader I have traveled to fictional fantasies and

     met magical majesties and divine deities

I have seen predicted futures for humanity

     and journeyed the intricacies of the past

I wouldn't be here if it was not for you

And for that I will be eternally grateful
