Lean on Me

A figure in the Enchanted Maze Garden, Arthurs Seat.
The figure is not only leaning on her elbows to read,
but, metaphorically,
she could be leaning on the words in the book to transport her away to other worlds.
For the prompt on Song-Ography - Lean on Me by Bill Withers


when you need a friend
who connects quietly
lean on me
