A Gift , a Curse

the sun beams its beautiful warm rays down onto us . ask nearly anyone, what their favorite weather is , sunny would be the answer. every plant , animal and human needs the sun ... and enjoys it so. strange how something so crucial , can also cause cancer . the wind feels fantastic , on a sunny day . nothing feels better than a much needed breeze , while catching rays , lying on a beach towel . cruising the boulevard , hair blowing in the wind . buildings crumbling over into the streets , homes losing their structure ...a terrifying howl . enjoying a brisk drive through the countryside . gorgeous , natural landscaping , outlining the rural roads . rain falling , rainbows, stunning hues, a soft wind . water feeds the plant life , drenching the soil . the blacktop becomes slick , tires slide .... horrible crunching , screams ... death ensues . drink in hand , walking after a quiet rain , taking advantage of the fresh air. darkness begins to fall over the sky . feelings of being watched , haunt her imagination . a short cut , through an alley , proves fatal . two men approach ...demanding money . the brutal attack ... she could not deter. the most natural thing in the world , some would say . two warm bodies entwined , kissing , caressing , expressing deep desires , anything to please. seamingly melting in each others arms , leaves them wanting more . at the time , never considering , death from a venereal disease .
