Hidden Within Books

by Patricia Harris

---

everything is in chaos,

political awareness 

is enough to drive most of us

to the brink of death...



so I have decided that I will be found

hidden within my books,

hidden from the news,

hidden from the fear...

hidden in worlds written 

to create personal peace.



in a time when dystopia

is current events,

I will choose fantasy,

romance and poetry...

to carry me away.
