I WROTE A LETTER TO YOU
I wrote about the mountains
And the river so blue
How it changed colors
It reminded me of you
I wrote about the song I heard
On my way up here
And about the snowy peaks too
That were far but seemed so near
They reminded me of you
I wrote about the risky journey,
and the treacherous ways
And about the over excitement
that I embraced
I scribbled about the starry sky
and doodled the morning dew
All this prettiness;
it reminded me of you
I drew a picture of the little boy
who said hello
And painted the sky in all
shades of yellow
But it was about to rain so
I smeared it with grey.
But the little boy came back,
with a picture of a sunny day.
I put it with mine, for
you to choose
The sunny day or the
grey sky blues
I folded it and licked a stamp
The letter, now mine; but soon,
forever to loose
I crushed, I crumpled
The words were clear,
still unjumbled
The pictures were muddled, the
skies were too
Yellow and grey mixed up, re-
minded me of you
I folded it again, about to
slip it in
This confused letter,
mine to loose, yours forever
to win
I let it go, inside the letter box
Amongst other letters,
behind the locks
I walked away, with a smile
drove away through
the mountains
the letter will travel a million
miles
Until it gets to you
And I will be travelling away
To places old and new
Into the seas, through the forests
and maybe back someday
here too
Who knows what the color of the
sky would be then
Yellow grey or blue
All I know is that day
I won’t be reminded of you.
