SHE

        The light is so weak; dawn is about to break, a crisp winter morning is coming. She is standing opposite the sea, with a blank stare. The sound of the waves splashing quietly surrounds her. She keeps her eyes closed for a moment, waiting for something. However, nothing at all is happening. Her eyes open slowly, but now, everything is blinding; the sea is sparkling, the sand is brightening. It is starting to rain, she hears some drops trickling. The day is getting darker. The desperation returns as an old memory. Her heart throbs like a drum, into a magic melody which she knows pretty well. A thunder rumbles far away from her, but clearly. Suddenly, it is raining cats and dogs, a very strong storm happens, she is soaking wet. She grimaces into a little smile and thinks… ’Everything will go on, the downpour sweeps along my problems. Our whole life changes like the weather does.’ The rain stops but the sky is full of fluffy clouds. Seagulls cry above her. She lays on the hard, wet sand and breathe for the first time. Everything will go on. All her life will be right.
