WHILE PAGES FLY OFF THE BOOK - by Eve Roper





WHILE  PAGES  FLY  OFF  THE  BOOK   


by  Eve Roper 



Reading brings me to 
another world of freedom. 
While pages fly off the book, 
so does in my mind, 
as I become the figure
in another place in time. 


Morning tropical 
sun showers its breath form rays 
on the sandy forlorn shore.
Barefoot on the beach,
warm fine sand between my toes,
the smell, and taste of salt air 


on my face and lips. 
Balmy wind wafts a few loose 
strands of hair across my face. 
My eyes squinting in 
the sun glare to see clearly 
the small sailboat out upon 


calm viridian
hue and marine blue ocean 
against the blue horizon.
Majestic stillness
a yearn sublime radiant 
blue, sound of scattering waves.
