Dearest Friend,
I miss you. It's been way too long.
I was happy when you arrived this month, but you were here for such a short time. You felt distant to me. I saw only a glimpse of your bright, cheery face. Seeing you warmed my heart and brought a smile to my face. You were like a breath of fresh air. You whispered soft words of hope and renewal.
And just as quickly as you arrived, you were gone. In the blink of an eye.
I was surprised at your decision to suddenly leave. Your change in behavior was unexpected. There was a chill in the air and your words pelted like snow. Why, I wonder, do you feel the need to tease and taunt me? I need you here. I need you to be by my side to feel that sense of rejuvenation.
Will you ever come back to greet me? I do hope so, and soon. Oh, my dearest friend, Spring....
All my warmest love,
Michelle

Wow Michelle, amazing! I honestly had idea where this was going! Your words, so vivid so beautiful! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely letter - very clever! Maybe if we all write a letter, spring will come back!!
ReplyDeleteI was getting all worried about a potential conflict you had with someone and then - ahh! Phew! Clever, clever.
ReplyDeleteYou made me wonder who you were writing to. A great concept and yes, I'm hoping spring will soon be here to stay - maybe it's in Arkansas. Love ya, Mom
ReplyDeleteI was never meant to last;
ReplyDeleteAlas, my friend, I needed to leave
so that when I come back around
again, you will find some sense of belief
of the power of rejuvenation,
made visible by the colors
of unexpected change.

I'm looking outside at a white world this morning--it snowed in the night. After it was 75 earlier in the week! So hard to keep up with South Dakota weather....Love the letter format for a slice, especially when the addressee isn't a person!
ReplyDeleteFun slice! I caught on when I read "..a glimpse of your bright, cheery face." Hope spring returns soon for you and others!
ReplyDeleteI am so ready for spring to stay. Wonderfully creative slice today!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Loved this. And totally unexpected. I hope she comes back soon
ReplyDeleteVery clever!
ReplyDeleteSpring looks like winter here!
