The Last Letter

Without guide I race to her
Though my legs are old
In my hand this restless pen
Might I write before I’m cold

I hope my words will move her
To a place we never knew
Past ten cent stamps with yellowed backs  
‘N jarred seeds that never grew. 

Into fields of tender words
That brush upon her thought
I shall gather the gentle ones
For the flower I always sought
