You wrote me a letter from the past,

As if from a distant land.

Each word a fragment of time,

Each paragraph a bridge to the unknown.

 

I read your lines,

And each word sounds familiar.

As if you were sitting beside me,

Not in a far-off world I do not know.

 

But the letter you sent,

Like a stone dropped in a quiet river,

Sends ripples through my memories,

And I find you where you were not.
