Closer to You

 If I could jump into the pages
 where the worlds You said were written,
 I would.
 I would grasp hold
 of the edges of each word
 and fling my body 
 through
 over
 and 
 under 
 every one.
 I would bask in the spaces between the words
 and listen to Your voice
 sounding out their syllables.
 I would sit at the base of the question marks
 in anticipation
 and
 jump for joy at every exclamation point!
 Oh, if only I could jump into the pages
 where the words You said were written,
 I would.
