The World of Her Choice

The World Of Her Choice What does she think? She walks on the beach whenever she gets the chance The line between three different worlds Three worlds in consistent conflict with each other One wet and warm with brightly colored fish The other dry and beautiful with birds singing in the trees The third offers cool breezes and beautiful sunsets She stares at the three of them Wondering which would offer her peace and happiness The land gives her grief and pain Untrusting people who live just to harm others People who hate because others are different The air brings storms of unreal proportion Lightening, tornados and chemical clouds All designed to destroy the land beneath them The water is the only one to bring solace and quiet She watches the waves in their eternal movement At that moment she makes a decision Walking into the waves she smiles as they envelop her Surrounding her body they draw her in There is no fear or panic as her face enters the water She has left the land and air behind her The chosen water surrounds her A last smile and a last breath She has joined the world of her choice And at last she is happy
