40 Days And 40 Nights

I am a woman, and I feel many things

Some days I feel Happy!

Some days I feel Scared!

Some days I feel Lovely!

Some days I feel Flared!

The one feeling I feel most…is Sadness

I go back into the times of the Flood

I was a tiny cloud in the Firmament 

And my God told me his plans for the World

And I grew intense sorrow, I swelled over the land

My brightest and lightness became heavy and dark

I soon began to feel that spark

My tears cascaded down to the ground

My whaling became the omen of sound

For 40 days I blocked the Sun

For 40 nights I blocked the Moon

For God had told me, “The Cleansing has Begun”

“The new age will be on us soon”

On the 41st day, I looked below

There it was, the Rainbow!

The dove, she fly across the sky

“For here is my Covenant, that nothing else is meant to die!”

And God then said to me:

“My beautiful creation”

“Your sorrow is given by me!”

“For you lead with your heart, like me!”

“Turn it into forgiveness, like me!”

“And seek beyond the clouds, for light is the key!”

And so, I am here now!

And when I feel sadness, I know I am okay

Because it is okay to feel sorrow, because it is God-Given

I seek forgiveness, for others and myself!

Because I am a child of God, a woman of Herself!
