"The Letter"

.....

Though stunned by those words,

she held her composure.

As she gazed reverently at the words layed out on that ancient letter.

.....

Realization began to sink in.

It made her realize something that she didnt want to admit.

.....

It felt like waves crashing violently, her world began to fall, though the wind abruptly died.

The roar of the ocean around her echoing through the thin air kept its pace.

She felt everything.

.....

In a sudden spurt of frusteration, the sound of her breathing gradually deepened relentlessly.

The feeling of futility began to cave in.

.....

....becoming smaller with every passing moment.

tears welling up in her eyes.

.....

Trying and failing to fall asleep, she thought of one thing.

She had to let go.

.....

She had to let it all go.

.....

Waves crashing and the echo of the ocean through the thin air, she reached her hands out,

hoping for something to hold her ground.

.....

She let go of those profound words scattered onto that page.

The letter that left her deeply stunned.

.....

She let it go.

.....

The letter soared into the clouds that would obliterate everything below.

.....

She realized that she spent so much of her time making up for things she failed to say,

as hard as it was to admit, she did.
