...understand that the heart is as vast and wide as the universe, but that we come to know love best from here, this place of gravity and stability, where our feet can still touch ground.


BOOM!
The thunder roars.

FLASH!
The lightning zaps
Across the sky.

In a blink,
Her room, once dark,
Is filled with light,
But only for a blink.

BOOM!
She cowers
Under the sheets,
An imaginary barrier
Between her
And her enemy.

Pitter-patter. Pitter-patter.
Boom.
But it is softer now…
Pitter-patter. Pitter-patter.
As it lulls her to oblivion.
