On writing letters

Writing a letter is not a cowardice act,

Instead, maximum bravery

a coward can show is writing a letter.


It won't bring fear like

an image from an anonymous id

Instead, it's the nudity of a newborn

which longs for a refuge


Like many things, letters too have

their own bright sides

no struggles like word search

no struggles like short breaths

not the elevation of body heat

nor the sound of own heart


no need to be in a hurry

no need to reduce voice

no need to look ground or somewhere

no need to fear that someone may hear

no need to be scared when the face shrinks

no need to fear that we may stopped in between

no need to fear that the other will leave before finishing

one can tell all they want to tell

one can tell all they didn't meant to tell


Above all

it's a handicraft,

which is made with lots of efforts

which is checked countless times

which is specially made for only one

which is specially made by only one


Cowards know well that,

it is difficult to get answers to their letters.

They also know well that,

even after

One should not go and ask,

"Did you see the light of the truth in it?"


All a coward can do is, writing and waiting.
