Love Letters by Eric Hanson
I'd write love letters to the earth,
whisper them to the wind
Fold them into paper boats
And find a stream to sail them in
I'd write of beautiful sunrises,
Of the oranges and pinks
While I sit beside the seashore
Where the waves can smudge my ink
I'd write these words on paper
But for paper I need trees
Like many things mankind has made
But doesn't really need
And so our letters to the earth
Leave less love than they do scars
When we write them in our blinding light
That blocks out all the stars
So when writing letters to the earth
It's time that we rethink
Since we don't need a piece of paper
If the live we live's the ink
