Letter to an Old Envelope
The emptiness you carry now
says more to me than words you once held
whatever it was long gone
not the message but the fact it was held
is why I held on to you
you carried those words across the decades
to where I would finally understand them
and now even empty you carry the name
of what became of what I wasn’t ready for
Translations from the English 
Gave me pause the way words should when heavy with meaning.
YES. Well done. Wonderfully resonant.
Thanks E.
It’s a beautiful piece of work
Leonard is right
As always sheldon
Thanks Sheldon. I trust L’s word, too!
Amazing, Jeff.
“you carried those words across the decades
to where I would finally understand them
and now even empty you carry the name
of what became of what I wasn’t ready for”
This cadence is brilliant.
Thanks Chris!
