Nature.

by @sarahrh

her spirit was so powerful, I believed she controlled the weather. her smile caused her eyes to crinkle and the smallest sliver of light shone through to brighten the sky. her mouth created the most beautiful sounds while laughing and singing. It felt like the calm before a storm because for a short moment, everything seemed perfect. her tears in her dark hours caused monsoons and tsunamis. So much pent up emotion in one fragile person created the idea of a dam breaking when her world does too. her rage that forms with the realization that no one can change the inevitable life brings, causes her to shake with fury. The dark sky breaks open with a momentary light. She makes lightning with her quick, angry ideas that are bursting out of her collapsing body. her shaking hands are the slowing down of rough seas. The drying of puddles after a spring shower. She's sorry for the mess she has made but doesn't realize it's only natural. it's in her nature, so that's why it happened in a cycle. I stood in the eye of her hurricane and watched her fall in a downward spiral.
