The Artwork of Life

The Artwork of Life

A Story by Petals & Pearls
"

A Faith based piece.

"
Alone as I sit beneath the downpour of all Life's uncertainties, I watch
as they consume me and dampen my soul with all the fear of 'what's
next? ' The thunder rumbles and the lightning teases as if to say, 'back
down and quit'. And though my knees are a tremble my curiosity of
what's beyond the storm pushes me forward and gives me strength to put
one foot in front of the other. The rain beats down upon every inch of
who I am and at the very threshold of my despair... I realize that the
rain has given me a beat to dance to and only I can choose whether or
not I shall dance and overcome, or sit and watch as the music becomes
the torment of my soul. And at that moment... I stand. And now the rain
is no longer a force against me and instead of dampening my joy, it
cleanses my soul. And I dance. With each step I become more aware that
even though the rain is constant and sometimes cold, it has shaped me
through time into the person... and the rock that I am now. And though
the rain relents not, I will dance and become the artwork of Life's
music.

You writ very clearly and eloquently; I especially like how the rainy scene progresses along, and it almost seems allegorical. Like the rain storm represents life's hardships, and your "dancing" is your determination to overcome the rain storms. "The rain has given me a beat to dance to," beautiful line right there. Like life gives us obstacles, but you ted to look at them like "beats" to "dance to", or overcome. This was a awesome piece you put together. The only thing is, I would lose the ellipses, because they conflict with the determined tone you take in this writing.
