Letters from afar


 Letters from afar

John Clare Stokes


I miss the days of

The penned romance

The excitement of

Waiting the mailman

To deliver the lavender

Perfumed letter in

The familiar long hand

The anticipation of 

Opening to read

Slowly over and over

Putting imagination between

The lines

Dreaming of the time

When summer came

You’d see the words become flesh.
