Fire

The inner turmoil was all consuming. She stood at the crossroads of her future, and her heart pounded in wild anticipation of what was to come. The past tore her to pieces, but she walked free stronger and ready to start again.

The fear burned within her soul, but she pushed it aside, and walked down the hill. The forest sheltered her in her time of need, but she was ready to face what would come on her own.

She held her head high, even though her heart ached for what it once knew. Being reborn hurt. It hurt deeper than anything she’d ever experienced. But, she was ready to spread her wings and fly.

The sun broke above the horizon, and she was bathed in brilliant red and gold. The world around her matched the conflagration that threatened to burst from her. She walked through the fire, and  even though she could have been burned, she shone brighter than ever before.
