...And You Wait for the Storm...

1/1/2014

It's always hottest
Just before the storm--
Oppressive skies of passions' fire
Glow oragnge with warning
Air so thick, so tense,
So inescapably dense
The film lies upon you...

...And you wait for the storm
To crash in release...
Thunder calls out in the collision of opposite forces...!
Lightning its silent scream of friction...!
The sky breaks,
A flood of release
that subsides
To soft weeping
Under shades of misty gray sky...

It pouts
As it heals,
Quietly reflecting on the chaos,
Cooling off
Under the dewy dampness of spent tears...

Celebrating all
that she is, loves, and learns

Welcome to the fruits of my mind, rich with flavor and heavy with thought...bold and fresh, and sometimes bruised... Like life, they can be gentle or intense, tough or tender, full of pain or full of grace.

This is life through the eyes of a modern-day Eve-- An Eve who has seen and felt the ages, learned to live and dream in a world where we've already tasted the fruit...
It's not always roses, but that's life...
for bitter or sweet.

...aftertaste...

I remember when life was simple and pure, when we had but ask and it be given. It is now a different day, a different time, a different place...

But I was allowed to take with me, the fruit I had bought, to remind me of who I was, and the Garden I left. And this is who I have become...

... a modern-day Eve, gifted with grace, resilience, and strength...but still I struggle in the toxic now, bred on the taste of ripened fruit...for bitter or for sweet...

Do you feel me?

...A mile in my shoes...

...EVE CONTINUED...
