the tale of a muse and her angel wrote:March 22nd - Spring
I write in this journal today because i'm confused by my own self and
i have no one else to turn to. perhaps you, my journal, can provide me
some solstice. (unlikely, as you are but a book, but i appreciate the
gesture all the same.)
today i saw someone in the field not far from here. it was a typical chilly
spring day, when the birds were singing their melodies and the smell of
flowers permeated the air. they were standing in a field of daisies, i recall
quite clearly, and they were humming to herself while they hunched over
something i could not see.
i wanted to ask them for their name, but i felt embarrassed all of the sudden.
i wish i knew why, but i simply cant figure it out..
well, thank you for listening journal. your advice is always appreciated.
March 28th - Spring
I saw her again today journal. i also learned that they is a she. she likes to
read and write long essays on politics and ethics and she picnics in the field
at least once a week.
i again did not get her name, but i hope i can next time.
March 31st - Spring
Dear journal, to whom it may concern, im writing on this day, the last day
of march, because i got the name of the mystery girl. she actually came up
to me, saying she noticed me around and recognized my instrument. can
you believe it? she knew who i was!
im afraid im already in too deep, journal.
April 6th - Spring
After almost a week of talking, she has invited me out to her house, dearest
journal! oh, i am just ecstatic. i cannot wait to get there and see her again!
it has only been less than a day and i miss her already.
i am truly a fool, journal.
April 7th - Spring
Oh it was so wonderful! today that is. she- oh, goodness, i havent told you her
name yet journal! her name is Erato--isnt it beautiful? anyways, she let me play
a song for her today, and she smiled at me and told it was one of the best she'd
heard! im so excited to see her again soon!
April 14th - Spring
Oh journal, how many a day it has been since i last wrote to you. i suppose i
should fill you in! well, it seems we have a little band-sort of thing going on,
dearest journal. she invites me over frequently to play and even sings along!
her voice is so lovely, i wish you could hear it. it's like an angel's voice, i swear
to you journal. she has the gift of a heavenly voice, i dare say.
May 21st - Spring
I have some important news for you today my dear journal; today i was given
a precious gift from dearest Erato; a kiss! i still blush at the thought. it was only
the cheek of course, but goodness, i feel like a princess none the less in her
company! i dare say she is truly an angel from heaven.
May 29th - Spring
Today she took me to the library. she told me it's her favorite place to be, and
that's where she gets all her books. she also told me she comes her to write. oh
yes, i dont think i told you; she writes her own books! she told me she dabbles
in poetry too, but sadly i was not able to read any of them. oh well. no good in
pressuring her, right journal?
June 3rd - Spring
Gosh i. i do think i made a mistake today journal..
i dont think i want to talk today. my sincerest apologies.
June 5th - Spring
She says it's alright, but still i am tentative to approach her. what if i make the
same mistake again? or--or what if i make a new one? oh, she will really hate
me then journal.
why must i be such a fool?
June 16th - Spring
We are on regular talking terms again, and the awkwardness has eased significantly.
still, i am hesitant. i will have to try harder to never make such mistakes again.
June 19th - Spring
It's almost summer journal; i can feel it. despite my previous worries, im so very
excited to take Erato to see the spring festival. there's so much to do there, and it'd
be her very first time seeing it; who would i be if i didnt take her?
i hope she likes it journal.
June 25th - Summer
The festival is just around the corner, and im so nervous now.. how cruelly ironic is
that? she ought to be the one nervous, having never gone before, yet she is the
one consoling me one my anxieties. truly shameful of me. i must apologize when
we meet again.
June 27th - Summer
The whole thing went rather swimmingly if i do say so myself! i think she really liked
it journal, i really do. i hope to take her again next year, if she decides to stay here.
July 1st - Summer
Summer is "officially" here and im so excited to show miss Erato all the lovely things
our small town does for the season. i do think she will enjoy the festivities, but i suppose
we'll cross that bridge when we get there, eh journal?
July 9th - Summer
No news today journal, im afraid. nothing interesting happened today, not really..
okay, you silly old thing, you've got me; something did happen, but it's a secret. she
told me to promise not to tell anyone, and that includes you!
July 15th - Summer
The annual summer lake event was quite fun, though it would have been better if
she had been there. though i cant say i dont understand; work never waits for anyone,
no matter who you are.
still, i brought her some of the desserts to try at home and took some pictures for her.
July 28th - Summer
We just got home not too long ago, and i think she enjoyed the jellyfish festival a lot.
next year, maybe we'll see some more variety though.
July 31st - Summer
It feels like summer came and went so quickly. the leaves on the trees in town are
already starting to brown and rust and fall off. i've seen plenty of the young playing
in them already.
i wonder what autumn has in store for us, journal.
August 4th - Summer
I'll be going away for awhile journal. Erato has asked i come along with her on a trip,
and while i'll absolutely be bringing you, im unsure how much time i'll have to write.
still, i'll try to update you when i can.
..goodnight journal.
August 24th - Summer
My oh my, it has been quite awhile! twenty days if im remembering correctly, dearest
journal. i have so much to say, but am unsure how to tell you everything. i suppose i'll
have a lot of late night writing to do, wont i?
August 30th - Summer
Autumn is getting even closer, i can just tell.. im excited to go back home soon, too.
erato says we wont be here much longer. im glad, to be honest. it's been far too long
away from home, and i miss it dearly.
i'll write to you soon with all the details, i promise.
THE END
