The Joy of reading

Does it happen with you too?

When you finish reading a book,

The author ends the story,

The characters bid a goodbye.

But the author’s voice stays,

It’s in the way I talk to myself,

the way I see the world,

the way every story around me unfolds.

And then, days slowly pass,

the voice floats to the background,

Like a decade-old favourite song,

Like memories with a childhood friend.
