Envelope

The letterbox flutters it's fine
As the envelope slides across the floor
To my feet; It's addressed to me
Yet I don't recognise the handwriting.

I open the envelope- pressure builds within
The trembling fingers, throbbing
As I divulge into the words-
Words that can change a future.

A few words enveloped- powerful-
In an insightful letter, deciding everything:
My plans and my future-
My life.
