She Was Lightening, Then She Was Sunshine

The dusk was like the bronze and golden leave of autumn
The waves rolled in like the winter snow
The sand was as warm as the summer sun
And the emotion was the soft light of the moon on a spring night.

Before that she was lightening
Then she was rain
Then she was over cast
And now she is sunshine than never came.

Hand in hand
Just like 200 strings tangled together
It might take awhile to untangled
But it doesn't take forever

And before she knew it
The strings were untangled
He dejectedly let her go
And then she was rain once more

Her tears poured down like a water fall
And her heart felt ripped out of her chest
She became lightening again
And you probably know the rest

The end turned out okay
Because she realized that life is too short to be wasted on not living
Live
Laugh
Love
...
Sigh

This is amazing. esp the title is breathtaking. spectacular imagery.
I strongly dislike the use of the word "sadly" really feel out of place when there are so many more beautiful word in the english language that would enrich the stanza.
