A brief line, yet a complete letter, Nothing, nothing could have been better, fears dispelled but, brought more tears not of sadness, but of joy, pearls my eyes shed so many metamorphosed to a tsunami crossing the ocean beaches, and bonded fetters unseen, washing away the clinging pain, I turn to the letter again and again, speechless as more tears surge with more joy, a few words sent were for another’s joy meant, two lines and a picture made up my letter, but what came in return teaches a lesson and makes us learn, words sincere and said truly from the heart touch true feelings, with even a brief letter bring happiness and joy an eternal treasure. though tears may fall but Reply
A brief line, yet a complete letter,
Nothing, nothing could have been better,
fears dispelled but, brought more tears
not of sadness, but of joy,
pearls my eyes shed so many
metamorphosed to a tsunami
crossing the ocean beaches,
and bonded fetters unseen,
washing away the clinging pain,
I turn to the letter again
and again, speechless as more
tears surge with more joy,
a few words sent
were for another’s joy meant,
two lines and a picture
made up my letter,
but what came in return
teaches a lesson and
makes us learn,
words sincere and said
truly from the heart
touch true feelings,
with even a brief letter
bring happiness and joy
an eternal treasure.
