"Re-Born"
On a warm heavy night long ago when I was a boy.
I was unable to sleep
There was a storm coming
I felt it rumble in my chest
The curtains heaved
The first pelts
The ceiling flashed
The sky ignited
I got up
I undressed
'crept downstairs past my sleeping parents
'went out into the yard
Oh the wind!
The rain!
I had never felt nature as this
It covered me
All of me!
Arcing light from horizon to horizon!
I stood by my mother's roses
silhouetted by fire
I 'was' the wind
the rain
the light
I was washed clean
I was re-born
Re-born, and Baptized by Lightning!
