note + Dear Heraldry,
note +
note + If you would be so kind.. I’d like to see that a personal moment of my life be
note + sent out to all the world to see. A bordered piece of paper to make it look
note + a bit more festive would be appreciated. I took time to describe the event in
note + detail and I would greatly appreciate the quality of print to mimic the mastery
note + of the piece that was created.. I’ve titled the event “ Life’s Final Note “.
note +
note + As Always,
note +
note + Thank you..

note + The hour drew long, and we were nearly complete.
note + And there she was, begging me to finally cease.
note + " Please be quiet.. I can’t hear your heartbeat. “
note +
note + With free hand, away from gauging of wound,
note + I scribble on sheets of music, copying her heart’s tune..
note + " There we are.. there it is.. “ She prays it ends soon..
note +
note + A minor kicking of feet as steel punctures skin..
note + A change in rhythm, the tune makes me grin,
note + “ Oooh.. A pleasant shift in our little hymn.. “
note +
note + Eyes leaking the caustic substance of tears,
note + A grimace of disdain, I stared on at my capture peer.
note + " Hate our song..? " She was no more than eight in years.
note +
note + Her blood streaming down the links of the chain,
note + It was clear her life force was beginning to wane.
note + “ Bah! But, you’ve given me so much its hard to complain.. “
note +
note + Placing a hand over her mouth, leaning in close..
note + I leaned over her frail body, ear sticking to bloody clothes..
note + Thump.. thump.. her heart beat softly slows..
note +
note + “ Life’s.. Final.. Note.. “
note +
note + Simply,
note + Trivaith
note +
note + P.S.
note +
note + Thank you, Llana, for you assistance in the creation of this work. It was
note + truly a great experience.
