This is something I wrote inspired by Svera's beautiful piece "Dragon ship"

If you've seen the picture, the idea is that someone on that ship wrote this letter and dropped it over the side... whereupon it was picked up by an unassuming young man (yours truly) and posted here to dA
That's how it's meant to be read, in any case.
I tried to make it look old and fantasy-ish, let me know how that worked out! Also, I have this vague idea of typing it up with a nice ribbon in the manner of those old scrolls, and leaving it by the roadside for some random stranger to find... I wonder what someone would think if they picked it up and read it! What do you think?
P.S. I put it in the Sculpture & Crafts - Artisan Crafts - Other category; not sure if that's the best place for it but I couldn't find any other!

The written content sounds wistful and a touch sad . . . as if the "author" misses contact of their kind. It also teaches a morale not to take things for granted. A very haunting and beautiful letter.
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment!
Wow...that was a much-syllabled sentence.
Well done. Thank you.
Sorry!
Thanks a lot for the comment -- I was delighted to hear that the wanderer in you found something quickening here. That's as much of a compliment as anything I could have asked for!
And thank you so much for the fav!
