She is rain
in the way
you feel her
all around you,
soaking you with
everything she is,
the feel of it
reaching deep
in your bone.
She is snow,
a collection of
unique snowflakes
coming at you
in a beautiful flurry.
She is the clouds--
when she is around,
it's impossible to
overlook her presence.
She is a hurricane,
her effect on people
widespread and unavoidable;
she is a tornado
in the way she pulls you in,
wrapping you tightly
as she does in her hugs;
she is a tsunami
because she loves
with everything she's got,
a tidal wave crashing down on you.
But mostly
she is a sunny day--
warming you,
shining down on you,
letting you know
everything will be okay.
