She shares a promise
That her life
Will be different
Nobody believes
Her words
She is humiliated
By their laughter
And ridicule
Despair produces
Her tears
She waits for
The storm despite
Their flawed wisdom
Faith releases
Her mind
She sees the signs
As the summer heat
Touches the overcast sky
Anticipation cloaks
Her spirit
She feels the change
As the summer wind
Moves the sedentary landscape
Exuberance permeates
Her soul
She listens as the
Sound of thunder
Echoes her name
Love overcomes
Her pain
She smiles as her
Heart receives the
Warmth of falling rain
