The lovely sounds

So smooth, like honey,

So pure, like nature,

Flowed from his lips –

Like an angel's,

Singing those words from his harp

Of gold binding and letters.

The words he uttered,

Seemed to love one another

Because that was in his voice –

Love.

Love for the beautiful characters,

Love for the imaginative plot,

And love for the listener, me,

As he read on and on,

A smile played on his angel's lips.

And suddenly,

In the dimly lit cozy room,

Under the feathered warm blankets,

Listening, smiling,

At those words –

I plunged into a world of darkness –

Until opening my eyes slowly

To see a beauty of a forest.
