She can.. She won't...
By veingo
She can feel it.
You know she can..
​Like a ghost-cold wind across her back
on a hell-hot summer day...
She can sense it.
​As everyone does..
Calm comfort of love grasping at her heels, as she walks defiant;
​squinting, yet still challenging the sun...
​She can hear them.
​And so, tunes them out..
His hopes, pleas, and prayers for her return.
​Fadeing like the patter of rain drops in a storm shower blown past...
An oasis behind her.
And a desert ahead..
But like the wife of Lot,
​she will never look back again...

I love the ending where she walks from the oasis towards the desert, vowing to never look back again. Great piece! Ciao, T/S
