It's only after the worst of the storm has hit, does it finally settle.
C'est la vie, Cherie.
That's what every turn in your life is like. Good, followed by bad, followed by the worst, and when you're at the brink of giving up, it starts getting better again.
She was there, at the edge, jumping off the cliff.
She could look back only to find demolition. Bits and pieces. Scars and wounds. She was so busy looking back that she overlooked what lay before her. There's always sunshine beyond those dark clouds that haunt your present. But a distraught person has every reason to not believe. She didn't either.
She gagged as Fear enveloped her heart. She choked on self pity and spat out her confidence.
She believed that there was nothing left to believe anymore. Nothing.
A whisper in her ear and a hand at her waist, pulled her back into the realm of possibility.
Was it possible? Was it real? Reality was too harsh and her dreams too unreal.
Fighting against reality, soothing herself by her dreams, she refused to open her eyes. She wouldn't dare see the world again. She wouldn't dare to believe again.
Faith and Belief had failed her.
Her eyes twitched, Hope prodded at her heart. One eye at a time, she opened her eyes to see what stood in front of her. Her feet gave away, she fell to the ground.
This couldn't be happening.
Love stood tall in front of her. No, it had to be an illusion!
He reached out to her. But was she brave enough to take his hand again?
Patience embraced him as he smiled, waiting. Who could fight against those two? And for how long?
He sat down next to her, ignoring the whimpering noises she made.
He took her hand in his and wiped her tears. "Come" he said.
Almost as if he'd given her strength, she stood up again. Silhouettes of Fear and Pity lingered as they were drawn out of her. She took a step forward, testing new waters.
How was this happening? She closed her eyes tightly and opened them again, expecting to see herself in a dark corner. But she was out there. Hand in hand with him again. Smiling after what seemed like eternity.
Embraced by Happiness. Backed by Hope. Blessed by Faith. Guided by Love.
It was unreal, but true.
The sunshine had fought the darkness away. And for once, Reality was better than her Dreams.
