A Challenge From Write Under The Moon

I had heard of a “Spiritual awakening” but didn’t expect to have one

It wasn’t just one for me, but many

I haven’t ever thought of writing them until this prompt

I thought a different prompt might be fun

Writing Rupi Kaur’s and Jen Sincero’s prompts, not like I don’t have any

I am busy right now, and pretty swamped.

~

Struggling with sobriety when someone suggested asking for help

It was someone who believed in self-help

She said to ask to have the obsession and compulsion removed

For me, that worked. She was so right. It proved

to be true for me. No more drinking thinking

No more drinking

~

I wasn’t close to God or the Creator

I said, “Me, I’m an agnostic.

I want proof.”

If there is someone greater

How about a prognostic

Okay, I know I’m a goof.

~

Next, I was asking for a burning bush

Prove this to me I thought

For four days everywhere I went

People talked about cush

Good fortune, what they bought

Good luck, and what they were sent.

~

I overheard people talking about

how they found a 4 leaf clover

and then I saw a rainbow

We were riding in the car and no doubt

the end of the rainbow was right over

us and we were the fortune and had clout.

~

When my mom died, she told me

Pray for your siblings, I’m with God

I needed to hear that

She said the nickname only she

called me, and it wasn’t odd

at all. I was happy to have that chat!

~

A year later my sister died and she told me one morning

Time is different here, I can visit family

and friends, heaven, the ever-lasting happy place

and I can visit Valhalla, she told me without warning.

Where is Valhalla? A hall for warriors I was told happily.

It put my mind to rest. I was looking forward to that space.

~

I have had many more, but this is enough for now

I will take a bow

enough for today

maybe more another day!
