The sunlight caresses my skin
Warmly
Gently
The sun's kisses soothe me to sleep
My wayward soul finally in repose
The fresh and cool mountain breeze
Fill my lungs with each gentle breath
Peaceful exhales
Softly billowing the sails
Drifting my conscious off to a sea of dreams
The cooing of birds
And the whispers of deer through the trees become my lullaby
My long sought slumber reawakening my weary bones
A peaceful escape
The moon graces the sky
Illuminating the darks parts within my mind
The stars glittering with such abandon
Reflect in my eyes
Reminding me I can shine brightly
Without restraint
Unapologetically

Downpour
Kari stared at the mirror as the fog slowly creeped from the corners and converged at the center. Her crestfallen face disappeared from view. She harshly rubbed her face before she stripped out of her torn and dirty clothes. She stepped into the shower. The droplets reddened her skin, but she barely registered the heat. Tears had begun to sting her tired eyes. The sheer weight of what had transpired forced her body to collapse to the shower floor. Sobs racked Kari’s body. When she felt like she couldn’t cry anymore, her puffy eyes trailed over the cuts and bruises that covered her body. How could have this happened? She attempted to gather her thoughts to no avail. More tears escaped her eyes as another fit of sobs began.
