A fresh innocent mind
Reading always on his mind
Wandering in and out of time
Adventures on the library’s dime
Thinking every trip is sublime
Possibly a mountain climb
Or tea party with characters from a book
Where the Queen of Hearts gives him a look
Frightening as she calls out a guest
“Off with his head” but it’s only a jest
The boy then wanders into a forest wood
Spies Friar Tuck and Robin Hood
Then gently slips into a tired swoon
In his bed with “Goodnight Moon”.

This is lovely. Reminds me of my trips to the library when I was a child. I need to take my children again more often.

Awwww that’s so sweet. I could be that child. My son and his wife read to my little granddaughter, and sometimes she wants to hear stories not in books and adds her own details to the stories.

Reading is definitely a pilgrimage. It gives so much without taking too. A very nice take on the prompt.
