I had not the pleasure of thy company, last eve, as the screen of darkness overcame. And I, I reached to hold onto... And you, You were not there. The galloping steeds, pounding out doom, mine eyes deceiving, seeing white, when only blackness lay before me. The screaming so intense, shivers caused me to wrap mine own arms around. Mine upper body leaning forward in comfort of oneself. I peeked behind closed eyes, eyes tearing the hurt and pain of the little ones seeking, coveting, on their long journey. Through the wooded lands, across streams and bridges, followed slowly, wearily watching, waiting, exhausted by vision's end. I had not the pleasure of thy company last eve, You were not there in touch. But mine eyes caught the guise of thee, upon the darkened screen, and for a moment, I felt cloaked, in warmth.

I have missed your letters, and this is, as always, as exquisite as the others. Tie them in ribbon, and keep them always... |

Lady, when you write... the world stands still. I was caught in this moment of wonder. Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

I can almost picture him, opening the letter, anticipation pouring over his brow, his hands shaking and reading, tears in his eyes and love growing in his heart. This is so beautiful, it may sound old-fashioned to some, but not to me. I love this kind of writing. Kathleen--(Kay) |

So enchantingly beautiful. Somehow, I have missed the previous letters you have written, but I shall keep an eye out for them in future. I love the old fashioned quality in this. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Mine heart is ribboned bound, as are the words in letters once returned to me by the dove of white upon my sill, but now lost in the heavens blue. They will forever remain a part of me.
