Silence. The silence is calming and sweet. Even after a
storm the warm air blankets around her like a soft blanket and a kind friend.
The freedom of the open space is vast and breathing is easy. The smell of maple,
pine and a hint of hay swirl through the damp air like dancers in a ballet.
Being here is easy, her future here easier to imagine than ever before as she
tastes a hint of honeysuckle on the tip of her tongue from the little flowers
that litter the earthy floor around her. Tilting her face towards the sun, she
closes her eyes soaking the little rays as the trickle through the clouds
letting the breeze ruffle her hair hanging down her back. Her eyelids flutter
open and she glance back down to the pool of tears the clouds shed on her peace
of sanctuary. The rippling surface reflects the peaceful smile she wears and
the sky that no longer cry’s for her in happiness. She is home, she is at
peace.
What a lovely metaphor--the warm air after a storm like an old friend.
