Other Lives

I dream 
I drift away from here 
into undiscovered worlds 
and people I’ve never seen

I ache, I smile 
I travel new roads 
to careers I’ve never had
and lovers I’ve never imagined

I open, I grow 
without moving an inch 
the letters on the page 
a doorway to other lives

  1. Books can definitely do that. I immerse myself in reading and get lost in them often. It’s a good way to live while you’re still relaxing at home, drinking your coffee and enjoying the cold weather methinks. A very nice and true poem.
