My straightened hair
scrunches back into curls. My hair once black from the water, turns
back to its usual brown. Once again, I am left undisguised. Even the
little bit of eyeliner I wore was washed and the curled eyelashes
relaxed. I closed my eyes in the darkness. Incredible. The rush of
the wind was thrilling. It sent chills down my body. A whole tree
danced in the storm. They lightning lightened the sky. The thunder
broke through the tranquility. Gray clouds rolled in so quickly.
Myself, shown, bare in this storm. Cold. But not alone. With a friend
by my side I sat. I faced the storm. I embraced the storm. I liked
it. "Bring it on!" I could have screamed. I was winning. And I
was still relaxing underneath the midnight sky. But when the sky
started to spit upon me, I ran to watch from my window. It was inside
my house, safe, that the storm looked like a fairytale but on the
inside of it was where the adventure was lain. The thrill. The
danger. Something that I always looked for in lifeā¦Once again,
found beneath the midnight sky.
