A brief line, yet a complete letter,

Nothing, nothing could have been better,

fears dispelled  but, brought more tears

not of sadness, but of  joy,

pearls my eyes shed so many

metamorphosed to  a  tsunami

  crossing the ocean beaches,

and bonded fetters unseen,

washing away  the clinging  pain

I turn to the letter again

and again, speechless as more tears surge

with more joy, a few words sent

were for another’s joy meant,

two lines and a picture

made up my letter, 

                                                        

but what came in return

teaches a lesson and

makes us learn,

words sincere and  said

truly from the heart

touch true feelings,

though tears may fall but

with even a brief letter

bring happiness and joy

an eternal treasure.
