I got your letter today
Been weeks since the last one
Seemed like months to me
Guess I'm not having any fun.

You sounded happy, exuberant
your words--carelessly guileless--
were unforced, surprisingly cheerful,
bereft of any sadness.

Have you found comfort there?
   or some peace, perhaps?
   or some form of inspiration,
however fleeting it may be?

If ever so, my soul
   is pleased.

May Providence hear my little prayer
as He has always done before.
I pray you find yourself, my friend,
and whatever it is you're looking for.

Wonderful poem!    I always find that reading a friend's letter brings a touch of nostalgia... and a longing to be with that friend again.  I know your poem may not have necessarily been about what I just rambled about - but I thought I would say it anyway!

To say good bye to a friend, or a part of our selves is ?? always heart wrenching.

Joel.

I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.

Across the gateway of my heart,
I wrote "No Thoroughfare!!"
But love came laughing by and
Cried "I enter everywhere!!!"
