And then I bled : tender heart

Heart 2

And then I bled My body saying all those truths It was too hard to name

Suffering, suffering Asking, please Can’t you soothe this aching

And the letting Of my life’s blood?

Heart you are, such A tender organ That works so hard

Pumping, pumping Supplying blood to every cell

And when the heart is hurting, hated or contracted What happens to us?

In such a barren place Like a withered flower we close our petals And collapse

After the final spear is aimed And then drop upon drop of blood falls To stony ground

Tender heart At times so full of dread Informed by a mind fixed on trauma You need so much more from us

Tenderness, gentleness soothing

Heart may we let you be The focus of all our meditation

Allow us please to see Life beyond what hurt and almost killed or crippled us

Because buried so far beneath this weight

So longed for Yet so feared

Is a tender heart Still longing Still aching

To love and be loved

"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.

    1. Me too. There are such deep sadnesses that forever mark and change the temper of our soul in fundamental ways. I think we loose sight of this in our modern superficial world.

    1. Its up to you how much work you want to put into it. I have found that the longer you have your blog the more work there is keeping up with comments and feedback. As far as tips go, I just used my own guidance as to themes and images. You need to write from your heart something that means a lot to you and that others can connect to, if you can do that then your blog will be a success. Good luck. Deborah
