A Timed Heart

"Ms. Clause what would you like to write on this letter?"

"Will it be delivered to him?" I asked the man in front of me.

"Ms. Clause, I'll make sure it does," the man responded with a full smile while tapping the pen slowly on the desk.

"May I write it?"

He handed me the pen and the elegant piece of paper.

"I had plans. I had dreams that extended out of this world and lived amongst the stars. They formed constellations in the brilliant night sky that would vanish as soon as the blinding sun would wake up. But my heart was too weak and the sun never seemed to set. . . "

A couple tears slipped away. I found it hard deciphering if they were tears of happiness or sadness. A smile covered my worries while I elegantly finished writing out the letter. I explained everything while clearly imagining the smile that would take form on his lips and the storm that would be raging In his eyes.

"Your Flightless Bird, Rose."
