A blank page faced a writer
With nothing to write with
A thought emerged so pure
That it melted the paper
Leaving the imprint imbedded
Forever in the mind

A blank page faced a reader
In an image so clear
That the paper was absorbed totally
In the thoughts transfixed to it
Immersing them in stimulated thought
Forever in time

A blank page
A paper with two views
And four ways of looking at each page
Taking the mind in different directions
In what is imagined
Within unique views

Yes, and this is an absorbing concept you've presented. It teases me, allows me to read between the lines, which of course, I do anyway.

This is very cool.  I really enjoyed reading it.
Well done.

I love the way you expressed everything.

Tis something to ponder! Well done. Chris

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.
