The viper’s den

Viper

Once again you entered the viper’s den

Was it any wonder that your legs were shaking

And your belly was aching

In the hall of mirrors reflecting only an empty view

And along a line of mouths screaming nothing

You walk alone

The bitter tide that washed you up

On the shore close to the viper’s den

Flows in your veins

Cold memory of nothing

Now you have been captured again

Your body and heart saw it coming

But your vision went blind

Its only when the vipers

Get you to sign on the dotted line

You begin to wake up to the dream

They are not vipers

Just humans doing what they do

You are the one who is confused

Your empty heart

Gave birth to the confusion

Why didn’t you listen to your soul’s advice

Stay cosy in your room

Where you have all you need

The space where you are no longer

Lured to empty places

By the hunger in your soul

Mistranslated

That only leads to more emptiness, suffering and pain

"The religious naturalist is provisioned with tales of natural emergence that are, to my mind, far more magical than traditional miracles. Emergence is inherent in everything that is alive, allowing our yearning for supernatural miracles to be subsumed by our joy in the countless miracles that surround us." Ursula Goodenough How to describe oneself? People are a mystery and there is so much more to us than just our particular experiences or occupations. I could write down a list of attributes and they still might not paint a complete picture pf Deborah Louise and in any case it would not be the full truth of me. I would say that my purpose here on Wordpress is to express some of my random experiences, thoughts and feelings, to share about my particular journey and explore some subjects dear to my heart, such as emotional recovery, healing and astrology while posting up some of the prose/poems which are an outgrowth of my labours with life, love and relationships. If anything I write touches you I would be so pleased to hear for the purpose of reaching out and expressung ourselves is hopefully to connect with each other and find where our souls meet.
