Reading in Progress

She sat there in a corner

On her favourite couch

With fog on her glasses

From the cup of tea in her hand

A book in another hand

As she deeply indulges herself in reading

She smiles as the characters

Talk and express among themselves

She cries as the book comes to an end

Dreaming of life the characters lived

She catches her breath

Each time the climax grows near

She is deaf to the surroundings

The book is all she can hear now

She is completely lost in the words

Black and white flying in her head

Sparkling and connecting the circuits

Inside her brain, shining bright

And each time, she found herself

Indulging in a new experience, the book took her along.
