The Introduction (To Start a Letter)

to start a letter
no one knows,
this generation
has yet learned
to grow
in love,
or simplicity,
to be
of what used
to be,

to start a letter
the question is
how could it be
that a heart
so common
could know
should know
would know
to unlock
the chest of their treasure
to start a letter
to start a better
a livelier
lovelier
confession

to start a letter
...
to start a journey

find the steps it takes
to find the key
to the treasure chest
seek it
unlock it
keep it
and share
maybe, then,
to start a letter
would be fair.
