A letter is
an intimate conversation
between two people
the one who writes opens a door
for the reader to enter
one’s personal space
often sacred and vulnerable
a narrative of timeless wait
for the reader it is an act of love
as if one enters that time
when one was thought of fondly
may be missed passionately
that frozen piece of time is
packed and parceled
with utmost care
once it is read
it is frozen in memory
If unanswered
It throbs eternally
like an endless saga
of longing and waiting
a letter is nothing less
than a miracle.

Quite a burden of sentiment and expectation placed on a piece of paper often used for the most mundane purposes , in fact ! Love letters of course are a genre in themselves .
Excellent! A reflective,insightful literary piece, composed with subtlety.
Thanks Vijay. I always look forward to your views on my poems.
Thanks Amita. Somehow for me a letter is never mundane. I consider them as memories frozen in time.
A poetic paean to missives everywhere.
