Literature Text

There is a cliff at the edge of the world
Storm clouds gather and the wind howls
While I stand, arms stretched wide
Embracing

Lightning shatters the endless darkness
CRACK! splits the cacophony
Thunder follows, so loud I can feel it
Reverberating

Wind whips the waves into mad crests below
Salt spray stinging jubilant eyes
Dolphins leap through the swells, fearless
Celebrating

There is peace amid your careful chaos
Knowledge that all things balance in the end
Fierce joy at being swept up in your arms at last
Accepting
I'd been looking forward to this theme, "Insanity," for a long time, though I had no idea what I was going to say. (That shouldn't surprise me, I rarely know.) But I sat down to write and this just poured out... the thunderstorm raging outside certainly lent it's energy to the creative process.

Again, really good writing. Very visual. And it kinda reminds me of a dream I had once, so that's cool, too. :)
