Wings


My Story by Karina llergo (used with permission)


Books gave me wings.
They planted seeds,
and dreams.
They showed me a roadmap 
out of trauma
towards survival.
Eventually,
they opened the door 
of the cage.
And then,
I flew.

    and dreams.They showed me a roadmap..."

    Wonderfully apt response to prompt (one that held me baffled), Sherry. Well done!

    Beautiful. One of those poem you read and wish you'd written, both because it's really good and because it shares your own story.

    What a delight it is to be wooed by books to such an extent that you never feel alone with a book at your bedside, or coffee table, or on the train and even on holiday!

    Me too. Opened doors to an entirely different type of life. I like the roadmap thought. Big help at the forks for sure.

    This is so wonderful... I have met books that lock me in, but also those that gave me freedom...
