The envelope is sealed
laying lip-side up
The saliva of hope
was run across tomorrow’s face.
Then with a secret placed inside
for some certain someone
the wet side was pressed
down to safety
for future’s secure
delivery of message.
And when next hand meets this paper
the moisture will be gone
only the stiff, locked
unknown will look up
prepared to be opened.
And hope will switch from sender to recipient
considering what comes next.

That is a gift if you can make mail sexy!!!
Thanks. For me, I’ve always liked a good letter. I still enjoy a good email. I love holding the envelope for a moment before opening it and hoping that all is well -actually, I hope, all will be better once the contents inside are seen.
There is something so romantic about letters. There is a great book series that is told through postcards and letters. You actually take the letters out of their envelopes and read them.
Brilliant!

“And hope will switch from sender to recipient”, hope this form of communication doesn’t get completely lost in the future. A 6th grade teacher said that cursive writing is no longer taught in her school district…
To quote Glen Hansard: “Write more letters…They are licked, and touched…They exist, you can kiss them or burn them…They can be kept.”
Loving the Glen Hansard quote quoted by javagirl79 – and the poem that inspired it
Beautifully written 🙂 Letters will always hold its importance… cause it can hold more feelings than our digital modes of communication.
