Softening

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA.jpg

When the sharp edges

I used to protect my heart

Have been torn away

I feel the raw pain of a muscle beating

With a spirit hidden

Deep inside that longs for love

And never really got to be noticed or received

The way it longed to be

When you say dont analyse

It makes me feel I lost the way back to your heart

And maybe you dont understand

All the pain I have had to grapple with

But neither do I know what you live with

And what you may have had to stop longing for

So long ago

We don’t really know each other

That much is clear

And I don’t know if we will ever find a way back

But I see you trying the best way you know how

And believe me my heart is no longer hard

I just feel sad

We could not make it to a better place

As brother and sister

"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. Beautiful… The struggle to renew the sibling relationship is a uniquely difficult one, and a struggle I know well. There is such power in our blood bonds, and it can cause such joy as well as pain…

    1. So so true. I want to honour the love I feel in my heart towards my brother and I know he is a product of both his environment and my two parents unresolved issues. I see that so very clearly at times and at times I lose sight as many of us do that he is only a fallible human being doing his very best and as an older brother took on a role he finds hard to let go of. At the same time doesnt often want to listen to feelings or other insights, and that pisses me off. 🙂

      1. I am very fortunate that my siblings and I have been able to recover our relationship from various difficultie, and although we aren’t nearly as close as we once were or would like to be, we are much better off just where we are. It is very hard to be objective and simple love them as people with flaws… But ultimately so important. Just so long as you know your own boundaries and expect them to respect them…
