I still do it.
In spite of
the convenience and ease of email -
ease-mail.
I love to write
Real Letters.
By hand.
Paper and pen.
Slowly.
Not just zipping off
a quick note
and pressing
SEND.
I sit quietly,
pretending
that I am talking
directly to that person.
But it's getting difficult
to find people
to write to.
I am in such constant contact
with all my friends,
through email and Facebook,
there is nothing left to say.
The three people I write to
are all in their late nineties.
Perhaps that's why
I have my journal -
'Letters to Dead People'.
I write to people that I can't
reach by email.
Even people I have
never met
but have something to say to them.
Letters that never get sent.
