Dear

Dear Death,

You’ve given us lots. I know appreciation of the other sentient beings in this large, vast place because your here to make our time limited. What would we do with all that time if it weren’t so small. There are a lot of things upon here, I won’t lie. Life has given us as much as I’m sure you’ll give us. I just know we won’t be bored or lonely and that means a lot.

I can’t imagine how I would continue to go on and never stop. I’ve never wanted to be immortal. Maybe others have and on this journey called life they would learn that maybe they don’t want to be. People are scared to come into your care, that I know, the unknown has always frightened us, yet who even knows though. It’s all just a merry go round and only you know when we come off, don’t you?

I continue to wonder about your relationship with life. Who are they to you? Are you friends? Just happy with each other and chatting amicably every time life gives you gifts? Or are you terrible enemies where you steal all the souls and sparks you can get? I truly hope not, I want you two to get along even if that means just being acquaintances. We all feel like there’s more to you that meets the eye. Your a complete mystery to us and also not at all. Regardless of all that though, I may not know you well but, I want the best for you, after all that’s happened.

Time gives us some very slow dances and some fast swings around the ballroom; we think their friends with you. We won’t ask for another dance, it’s not for us I believe. Are there many of you around this ball room? Some say they’ve taken many dances with you though I don’t remember having any yet. Until then, just know of the appreciation you have. The love so given to you, your just something else you know?

Sincerely,

Mortals

Dear Universe,

There are many things I want to say to you and many things I don´t. You are someone who I don´t think about often to be honest. Only in those small moments that strike like lightning and without warning. As someone who lives, much smaller than you, I want you to know that I love that your here and that you can be someone I can look toward. Sometimes in anger, sometimes in love, but mostly in wonder.

I always try to find the time to wonder at the beautiful; whatever you decide to grace me with. My cat is particularly cute, you know. Today, I took a moment to stare out the window at the snowflakes. Though I would appreciate them less if I was the one outside. There are many people I met today and many things I did. I remembered to eat some food today and that really helped my ability to be around all these humans you house in one of your planets.

I hope you know that this is a very beautiful planet, a planet that houses humans of all different kinds. Some are lovely, lovely people. Others are more grumpy and some are just terribly unpleasant. I must say that those lovely, kind people all around are trying their best, in the circumstances they end up in. Universe, sometimes I love how everything pulls together to put so many people in so many places, in so many times, all in such a vast place.

Universe, your so vast and unending that no one I know can ever explore every inch of you, but we try our best. We really appreciate you, I hope you know. We have these beautiful pictures of you. Where your golden stars stretch across our canvas and nebula with space dust and other things make you look particularly beautiful.

I hope you know that as just a few of the creatures that live and thrive within you, with your help and guidance; we love you. We love everything about you and wonder about you constantly. I hope you know that we also wonder at how interconnected everything is around us. How everything we do always impacts in many different ways. We wonder about you universe and I hope you know we love you too.

Sincerely,

Sentient beings.

Dear Love,

I have to say, I think about you constantly. Dreaming about every situation I can think of you in. I hope you know I worry about you but I always do my best to think the best of you. Your the hero in every situation, the best you, you can be.

I hope you know there’s so much good to you, so much light and happiness and everything that you need is right there inside you. I know you feel the shadows in your soul, burning your mind, you find it so very hard to keep the desolation at bay. How hard it must be for you?

Love, just remember, I will always think the best of you regardless. You will always be growing, compared to so much your so young. Just know that your faults may be laid bare to me but I will embrace you still. I know you will always do what the situation calls for, to be the best you you want to be. And that’s all I can ask for.

My love, I cannot help but want to be near you more. I cannot help but want to feel good in my own skin, enough that I love and love and my heart opens to more. You change me and complete me and the more I find about you the more I realize I see the things you want me to see. I’m as ever evolving as you are. I cannot help but feel our connection in ways that almost frightens me at its intensity.

I cannot help but wonder: do you hear me when I call? Can you feel the light under my skin, waiting to burst out, calling to you to not extinguish it? My love, I cannot help but wonder at the actions you take. Do you know me, do you know who you are? Do you know how much you mean to me? How careful I cannot help but be around you. I want the best for you, though sometimes it may not seem like that.

I pray for you and hope to God for what else can I do? I wish to be there for you, whatever may happen and whoever may come. I hope you know I’ll always try my best to be there for you. Yet, I hope you know it cannot be so, by God it kills me that it cannot be so. I love you, though I may never truly know you.

Sincerely,

The Author.
