Just Float Away

As she laid there under her willow tree, it bagan to rain softly, the cool air bagen to stir. She looked up into the grey sky and made a silent wish, she wished she could leave, wished she could just start floating up and into the clouds away from everything she knew, never having to look back. Never having to face her life again…all of her problems, fears, sarrows…they would all vanish. If she could leave earth, leave it all…
The rain was growing stronger now and the wind was picking up in force she got up and left the safety of her willow, she wanted to feel the cool drops of water hit her and travel down her body, to feel the wind blow around her. She began to run now through the grassy fields like when she was a little girl, when life was easier, she felt free again, as free as any girl could feel, she was safe…nothing could harm her.
The rain was now like speeding bullets coming down from the sky and the wind was howling, but she kept running. She didn’t know where she was, or where she was heading, she just wanted to get away. As she made her way she caught her foot under a tree branch and fell to the wet earth instantly breaking her neck…the rain softened and the wind died down…and the girl began to float up and into the heavens…
