I wonder if this love letter
could ever reach you...

Time spans out in curtains
of the future, veils of the past.

And yet... and yet...
this love transcends time or space.
If only to touch your face,
if only to kiss your slightly
parted lips, if only
to breathe you in.

If only... If only...
I could dance into your arms
that you hold out to enfold...embrace.
I would sing of the eons,
the medallions of eternity
echoing throughout my heart.

Your photograph burning
as a flame into my memory.

Your uniform of Civil War blue
catching my eye
with gold, braid trim
adorning the sides
of your neatly creased pants.
Sword hanging down,
hat just slightly askew.

I wonder if this love letter
could ever reach you...

And yet... and yet...
hope burns eternal,
love transcends
all of the many
galaxies of time.

"If only to breath you in"

This is wonderful, and take out the uniform and it's a beautiful, generic
love letter for all time.

Enjoyed,
Hugs, Pat
