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.
