SPIRITUAL THUNDERSTORM
I desire to flood you
with the splendor of
a spiritual thunderstorm……showering you with
iridescent drops of
ancient wisdom.…bathing your spirit
with the divinity of
Amen Ra
and the truth and justice
of Maat.…striking your soul
with the riveting
rains of righteousness.…summoning you to
wade in the waters
of enlightenment.And ultimately…
…welcoming you to
the customary quiet
after the storm.© 1999 Traci Brooks
