That One Letter ...



 

That one letter! Yes that one letter!
Still tears trickle down my eyes,
When I read,
That one letter!

Not painted with Victorian Odes,
Not embellished with Shakespearean Sonnets,
That one letter! Yes that one letter!
Still stirs my existence!

Feelings covered beneath the dust of being,
Thoughts imprisoned in the cage of mind,
That one letter! Yes that one letter!
Hummed the unconditional love of two kids,
Who grew up to witness the loss.

Still …

That one letter! Yes that one letter!
Livened the love which remained unloved!

Praises, weeps, laughter,
Love, hate, wrath,
Despair, nostalgia, longing
That one letter! Yes that one letter!
Embraced tightly the grains of precious sands
That …
Trickled down slowly,
Emptying the relics
Of feelings, thoughts, and unsurpassed love
Stored like jewels in their hearts.

That one letter! Yes that one letter
is only what remains ...
