She desired to live...

The infuriated waves crashed before reaching the coast
Heavy clods shadowed the tranquil morning sky
Trees shed off their leaves in spring
Every course, every trail went astray...
But she desired to live...

The sea turned into a whirlpool
A day gloomier than the darkest night reigned
Naked silhouettes of trees struggled to cover themselves with the wind
A lifetime of nightmares materialized...
But she desired to live...

She was given the oars in the turbulent sea
Locked up engulfed by darkness
Told to rake every leaf off the earth
But the pieces of the puzzle refused to come together...
She, yet, desired to live...

She clung on to every bit of the upturned boat
Attempted to hold every bit of dust that brought light
She held on to every mirage in the desert
But destiny demanded that she close her eyes...
She yet wished she could live...just once she could live...
