Letters
forgotten, remembered
a once-cherished story
rising from the dust
in all its former splendor
page by page, phrase by phrase
words relived, tears recried
hidden sensations
returning hundred-fold
frozen in time
so sweet, so simple
that profound word
in your letters
right here waiting
patient, unconditional
true and so naïve,
pure, almost too pure
thousand swallowed tears
read and cry again
and you, silent patience,
you¡¯re still here.
