Excellence Award in the 'Write Along 2018' competition

She is the dazzling sun, glinting through a cloud.
She is the raging thunder, cackling and loud.
She is the sparkling stars, blinking in the dark.
She is the blazing flame, igniting with a spark.
She is the wailing babe, tears to end all drought.
She is the noble mare, galloping about.
She is the ancient man, hair as white as snow.
She is the firefly, its abdomen aglow.
And at last when nightfall comes,
She is your final breath.
She puts her arms around you
And guides you to your death.
