LOOKING AHEAD

Let me write you a letter

Let me pour my heart out

When words fail to come

With breath,

You will not go without

Let me sing you a love song

In these empty pages

Let my hope become infectious

Like laughter with dowages

Listen, close, this ink has a message to give

Convoluted though it may be

Laced with fatigue and worry

It is my love’s decree

Let me write you a letter

Let my heart speak free and true

When I’m long dead and wasted away

Know my heart beat only for you
