Track Bag Full of Books

- Magestar

Black bag slung over her shoulder,
Sports logo on plastic-y weave.
Girl carrying it through the airport,
Ready to leave.

Ought to contain clothes
Or sports equipment,
But this bag is carrying
A different shipment.

A bag filled with dreams
Of far away places;
A bag holding hopes,
A light in drak places.

A track bag full of books,
Carried all around:
A little bit of happiness
Where none before was found.

The books that take her away
From the grimness of reality;
A moment out of time
To forget practicality.

All carried in a track bag,
an unexpected vessel
Flying her away on wings of fantasy.
