the thunders in my heart
The storm is spreading, the waves crashing against a slick surface... a smile plays softly on my lips. I "borrowed" this yacht to think about the decision that needed to be done. My mind preoccupied with too many things. The situation getting more and more complicated with time. I needed to reset, to find myself through all of the mundane distractions. I had business to attend to and enemies to play with. But it was the little things that clouded my mind. The unexpected outcome of numerous small decisions that I made since arriving at this almost forgotten town.
Things have changed and I had to work on new tactics that wouldn't spoil my bigger plans... there were people that were just waiting to get to me, already sharpening their dark claws... and I was ready for them, but the thing that I wasn't ready for, were all of these feelings that came along. My mind was clouded and I needed a release.
I needed this... - I think, as I look at the dark sky, and the rain pounding against the glass surface. I smile again looking around at the expensive yacht that led me to the open sea. It won't be missed, the storm scaring the locals and closing them in their homes... even the few rich ones that would be lounging in their fancy estates, with the cozy fire spreading, while they sit comfortably in their little castles.
I tilt my head as a lighting breaks through the sky and an ear-shattering rumble fills my entire body. My grin widens. Yes, pure pleasure from mother nature. I did love storms, the one unspoiled thing in my life. I could always count on the natural forces of the Earth to soothe my rocky senses. I head outside of the small cabin to witness the spectacle with full power and majesty of it all. I open the door and close my eyes, feeling the wind on my bare shoulders, once again dressed only in my white dress.
I was tough, the weather never bothered me. After all, I have been through worse... as one song went "sticks and stones won't break my bones but chains and whips excite me". I inhale the smell of the sea as the wind messes my already wavy hair. This was what I loved. This kind of energy and madness. These were my "chains and whips".
This was my passion... well, maybe except my profession.
But that wasn't something I was going to think about now. No, it was not.
I walk to the railings and lean against it. Tasting the saltiness of the breeze on my tongue as I open my mouth. Felling everything with all of my senses.
There is another lighting cutting through the sky and my smile widens again.
I count in my head. 1... 2... 3... 14... and a loud thunder vibrates through my muscles. Very good. It's getting closer. I open my eyes and stare at the angry sea. The waves crashing against the yacht, higher and higher. The water splashing against my skin and making my dress soaking wet in just a matter of seconds. I shrug my shoulders as the wind grows stronger. Not important.
Many people wanted me dead, but a common cold wasn't going to kill me that easily.
I grin and lift my head to feel the raindrops on my face. I stick out my tongue and feel the nature slipping inside of me. I hold the railing tighter and a laugh escapes my lips.
I am happy. Content. Free. Right now, at this exact moment. Whatever would happen tomorrow or in the near future... no longer mattered. Not now. Not at this moment.
I needed this and now I could move on with my plans. Decisions made.
A single spirit in the middle of the sea.
Feeling the freedom that no one could take from her.
Time for action.
I smile as the yacht shakes with the moving waves. No more waiting game.

My third response goes to @Danceinsilence, and his challenge :
"on a yacht, out at sea, a storm is coming,
what do you feel, what do you see? You are alone with your thoughts"
Thanks to you "J" had a little fun trip on a yacht. She really did enjoy it.
