she was the sun
and the moon
simultaneously
when she entered the room
the rays of her smile radiated
and warmed the skin of everyone
in her proximity
she resembled a light summer breeze
that made the curtains dance when
the windows were left open
but she was more dynamic
than a simple ray of sun.
when she exits the room
and is left in the presence of herself
the shadows of her soul shake
like flowers after the first frost
she becomes an earthquake
as she goes to war with her mind
she was the best of the light
and the worst of the darkness
she lives as an eclipse.

the shadows of her soul shake
like flowers after the first frost
she becomes an earthquake
as she goes to war with her mind
she was the best of the light
and the worst of the darkness
she lives as an eclipse.
