A pencil, a padlock, and a half-burned candle
Create a scene, roughly 1 paragraph long, that showcases a pencil, a padlock, and a half-burned candle... If you can :)
Letters to a Stranger
I am sitting on a barnwood floor
watching a candle's waxen waterfalls trickle
towards the open door.
I clutch a pencil between trembling fingers,
etching love letters to a stranger,
and when the flame no longer lingers
I lock the pages away,
tuck the key next to my heart
and wait for these childish dreams to decay.
