An Act of Love

An act of true love
He fingered his breast pocket
A genuflection
Love letter sheds pure tears
Echoes heard across the years

I learned a new word from you today: genuflection. That aside, this tanka, in its few words, tells a story of a lifetime. So well done.

Another great tanka! I especially love the last two lines!
