The letter traveller

Amazing -
how you can look at her
again and again
and still find something else about her
that moves you.
When you touch her
she leans quietly into your hands.
She promises to be
sincerely and faithfully yours
with the warmest regards
and best wishes.
Then she folds herself away
firmly, but with care.
Long after you've let her go
you have a lingering impression
that she was trying to tell you
something between the lines...
She sends you pictures
in postage stamps.
And you know you'll always be
Dear to her.
