Opening Minds

Slumbering pages stirred themselves
Their yawn turning paper
Waking eyes to a new chapter
A world unknown
A printed future
Rainbow bright

Faster they begged
Bleeding their ink
Into her heart
Holding her captive

They pushed her on
Carried her thoughts
Beyond the drab terraces
Of her present
Showed her the possibilities

In its end was her beginning
And this she would write
For herself
