Hour 7

Brute force winds
rip leaves from branches
trees bow and sway
and she stands, stoic
strong-faced
proudly, she walks through
the storm
her head held high,
does not bow against the wind

Her bones quake with each thunderclap
her heartbeat jumps with each lightening strike
a war waged within, against herself
hidden beneath the facade
of strength
