Midnight gathers its quiet ink
Pauses long as though to think
Every star above the street
Beats like a heart in incomplete
The wind blows over the papered sky
Carrying whispers passing by
Pages flutter with soft intent—
Letters the night forgot to send
Your shadow lingers in every line
Waltzes slow with mine and mine
Even the dark returns your face
In every fold of empty space
As dawn unseals its envelope
Lighting the world with tender hope
I find your voice with every bend—
In letters the night forgot to send
