She lets down her hair
Coils of bronzed copper and burnished gold
Shakes it back from her face
As she lets loose a triumphant laugh
She remembers
She is wild and uncontained
A force to be reckoned with
The wildness of nature personified
She is tempestuous flames ablaze
A volcano set to erupt
Kissed by fire
So they say
She is fierce and free
Her untamed hair contains wild mysteries
In it she braids her sadness
In tight coils and twists
When it comes undone
Her sorrow leaves her
Drains away onto the forest floor
And she remembers
Who she is
Who she was
And always will be
A warrior
A fighter
Unyielding fire
In the face of adversity
Remember who she is
Respect her flame
She will warm those she loves
As she will burn those who wrong her

Diabolical Dealing
Charlene Lind found herself at the home of her therapist, Dr. Alexandra Vech, who she had been seeing for a week. What was supposed to be a session ended up becoming a desperate plea of help from Charlene as she was suddenly losing consciousness. She was cognizant enough to know that she had only a minute left until she would be out like a light.
