I Wrote A Letter Today

So much may be conveyed with words.

A state of mind, a melody of birds nearby.

For a long time, I did have a loon who 

could sing at night and leave me in tears.

That nostalgic reminder of the big lake

and their natural habitat we embrace.

I send thoughts to a dear friend, whose words

in return do give me peace of mind and hope.

In that our society hurts so much right now.

We need moments of clarity to ease our soul.

So in my notes from memory I am able to speak,

someone close by, dear to me,

I know she listens.
