The Gift of a Letter

The gift of a letter

handwritten

love notes

coming through

the mail

 now becoming

something

that used to be

computers

emails

smart phones

and texts

messages sent quickly

responses in a second

we have lost the art

of handwriting

sitting down to write

taking the time 

to write from our hearts

sending it with care

the fun of receiving

those written words

from a friend

or a family member

handwritten beauty

remembering

the joy

of a stamped

envelope coming 

our way

opening the mailbox

and seeing it there

why is it we have stopped

sending love through the mail?

giving the gift of our words

 to someone who really cares

sharing our hearts

sharing our thoughts

could it be that we

might try again once more?

to restore the beauty

of 

the gift of a letter

encourage someone

send one today

the gift of your letter

worth so much more

than you will know

it may truly be

the only gift that someone

might receive

Writing

Writing

putting pen to page
always seeking
time to write
 freely 
compassionately

words

they come

at the strangest times

writing

thinking

remembering

expressing
dreaming

words

they come

at the strangest times

beauty with a pen

writing down

every thought
every moment

quiet times

such beauty in

solitude
words
they come
at the strangest times

brain racing
journal in hand

wanting to express
all that is felt
deep down inside

words

they come

at the strangest times


writing is
freedom to express
love thoughts
mind thoughts
heart thoughts
writing is
a way of life for some
hard for others
to ever consider


writing
how we need
 the written word
self expression in it's
truest form
words
they come
at the strangest times

Gathering words

Gathering words

words come to mind

write them down

keep them close
collect them

reach for one

inspiration comes

write a poem

add to a story

play with words

remember words

paint with words

words are everywhere

just pay attention

to the unusual ones

we don't use them

everyday

share them 

I love words

listen for them

use them

they are beautiful

they resound

words

they come

if only we listen
