Moxie ( The 7 Words Series) No. 5

When Moxie rolled into town, all of the young wives suddenly kept their husband's on very short leashes....though it wasn't just the men that were curious about her. Her twin sister, Charm, used to delight in the fresh little storms that Moxie would unwittingly stir up whenever she was present. Charm knew her sister was a force of nature even if Moxie wasn't aware of it herself.

How would one describe her? Well, really, it is nearly impossible to do.

Moxie is a walking paradox. For a very long time, she'd had a love affair with Indifference. A love she was certain was forever....lock, stock and barrel. Then Sensuality entered her quiet chaos one Spring day with his heady eloquence and wearing a cloak of smoldering fire.... and Moxie's heart stood still. Both loved the teasing taste of cosmic wine on their lips and Sensuality had a cellar full. They would talk for hours lying in the tall grass of vast fields getting lost in the other's mind and body. Each of them silently wondering if they'd ever recover being kept apart.

Adventurous and vivid, Moxie took deep pleasure in doing things others warned her she should not, or could not do. Those closest to Moxie knew that only fools underestimated her. Very often at their own peril... for while Moxie is not dangerous at all----she does have the power to challenge any form of the Universe's equilibrium.

Give her a mountain and she will stomp it flat. Tell her she can't have the moon and stars only to see them hanging around her neck the next time you bump into her. Moxie will flash you the warmest smile with her scarlet lips while her searing blue-eyed stare will be saying " I told you so".

Along with the sunshine she carries in her back pocket comes the tidal wave you never saw coming.

Like a force of nature.
