a letter has been writ using a graphite-influenced lead pencil four pages three photos were enclosed something personal something for her something just a rambling sort of letter nothing particular to say merely desiring to reach out to someone special I didn't mail it yesterday I won't mail it today I shall keep it intact never to be opened sitting here beside me with words sealed, never to be read ©November 8, 2016 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Sometimes our courage slips away from us, and it's good at times that it does. It keeps us from saying words we've already arranged that can only hurt...us or 'them'. It's enough, I think, to have those words laid to rest, having dealt with the experience of creating them. Touch, but don't look |

Funny thing about undelivered mail...I have several ... but those who would have received are no longer with me... and I miss them. |

This is actually a real letter I wrote about, Jack. There is nothing in it except my true thoughts, and nothing in the way of being hateful, on the contrary. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Sometimes writing things down can be cleansing. |
