Lightning and thunder – a poem

These are new feelings for me

Crackling and burning under the surface of my skin

Anger and rage wanting to burst out through every aspect of my body

Exhausted at myself for all the limiting ways I have been relating to life

For all the power and strength that I buried deep within me

Mistaking them for anger and aggression

They are rising up

Grabbing me by the soul and demanding to be released

Demanding to be let out of the prison I accidentally created for them

I thought the doors were open

That I had flung them wide a few months ago

But here they are, power and strength raging within me like a thunderstorm

Deep breath

Pause

Take off my rain coat

Put down the umbrella

Open all the windows and doors and let the storm rage

Let it come and cleanse me and release me from the shackles I unknowingly put on

Deep within the prison cells of my mind, body and spirit

Thank you thunder and lightning

Thank you for reminding me of my strength and power

Thank you for living under my skin and waking me up to the true power of my beingness

I welcome you thunder and lightning

Light up my skies

Liberate me from my prison

Help me bring healing to the world with your lessons, freedom and power
