a Priestess

 
the trance triggers memories
powerful feelings overcome
in my midnight hours yearn
burning with passion
I can't explain my deep need

sorrow festers and I seek the sun
sadness comes with the rain
the grey overwhelms
it hangs over me heavy

I must touch blue
kissing the angels I rise
a cloud floating alone
the winds carry my soul far away

lilting on the breeze
across the desert
where I touch down
the sun is life and death here

still, I worship the sun
my body falters and I have visions
a place long ago where I once was

an Egyptian Priestess
entranced doing my purification rituals
praising the God Ra
my prayers rise like incense
foreign abd exotic I am home
