*No thunder today. Just a lovely wash of rain and wind and Spirit. Wishing you sweetness*
Thunder
*from One Goes to the Sea by Joan Myles, copyright 2021*
do you hear in the distance–
like the drum of a chief
or an elephant’s footfall
Or the heartbeat of a thief–
past the splattering rain
and the call of a crow
that faint rumble from childhood few northwesterners know
from the depth of my being I am urged to attend
so I rush to the window as if meeting a friend
push the curtains aside
open wide to the breeze
feel the rush of my spirit with the swaying of trees
feel Creation as One
as I fall to my knees
Jewniquely Myself

Wonderful!
This is beautiful.
Hi Joan,
So very true. The thunder is always welcome here in the NW. Can’t quite say why, but it is. Perhaps it is just its rarity, perhaps it is just the deep resonance with something within.
Not that I’m complaining that we’re having rain today, our first real rain of the season.
Thanks for sharing,
Win
