the universe writes stories
on unread pages
in unreachable spaces
fluttering through centuries
inhabitants of the world
evolve literary forms
for different species
in different languages
entangled in their own tales
reinvent the wheel
without knowing
what the original looked like
I feel unsure
if pages of the Original Book
remain untouched;
or compel the author
to revise notes

The mystery and potential for writing adventures is what really gets me. The opening stanza really hooks you 👌🏾

Such a great, deep take, Reena. I’m speechless. No one knows, or understands what the original had but makes interpetations to suit their own benefit.

This is a great take on this prompt Reena. The stories of life written and read by the protagonist themselves. Thanks for joining in.
