A Lover's Letter

A handwritten note from one lover to another 

One letter entrusted with honest feelings shown 

This piece of paper forgotten from a past December 

Now floats on the wind towards the unknown 

Crumbling paper drifting through the air becoming dust 

Traveling past mountains with forests so green and lush 

Being carried by the wind with a single helping gust 

Passing by windows where inside children's mothers whisper hush 

Through deserts with scalding and golden sand 

Past oceans with beautiful creatures in the water lie 

Over plains of fruits and vegetables on southern land 

And cities with buildings whose tops reach the sky  

As the time passes one lover is begging for an answer 

Anything to prove her letter was sent and discovered 

The other lover is kept waiting through another December 

As a letter floats through his window and is uncovered
