-Antigone-

Dearest Antigone-
   It seems like ages since we last spoke and an eternity since I last felt your embrace. Since we parted I have been unable to think of anything but you. Oh what calamity has befallen me that would cause me to now loathe that which I could not live without? I feel as a prisoner must; but how much worse is this fate? To be surrounded by the beauty of the sea and to be unable to share it with you. Each night I search for signs of you in this vast expanse. I turn my head towards the stars and imagine you staring at the same shimmering sky as I.
   No longer do I dream of unseen destinations and no longer do I desire to understand all that is to be understood on these untamed seas. I will gladly surrender this life for you. For all that I once loved and yearned for have now, in comparison to your beauty and grace, become a plague upon my heart and soul. With each passing moment I pray in an ever increasing fashion that we swiftly conduct our buisness and that I am able to once again return to your embrace.

My Dear, pray as I do for God sent winds and Angel's wings that I might speed home to you.
