So, how are you?
November 7, 2023
A torrential thunderstorm, brewing absolute catastrophe in my soul. A crashing wave, salty spray slowly eroding the walls of my sanity-
Her door gently creaks open, a stream flowing with utter tranquility. She offers me a soft smile, a light mist that caresses my skin and soul. The calm to match my calamity.
She settles down, skirt flowing to the floor like dew gingerly settling on grass, and the thunderstorm of my mind quirks an eyebrow, makes a question of clearing. The ocean wave now kisses my feet, asking,
“So, how are you?”
And the dam of my tears bursts.
