Slip away

Hands of sand

Sometimes

Darkness comes stealing hope

After those days where you went out

Full of happiness

Expecting to be able to give and help

And were instead blocked

At every turn

This kind of disappointment

Its something I am not very good at coping with

Why is this world

So often geared

Toward stoicism or misery

To an existance or rules

Defined by such narrow parameters

Things that don’t fit

In the circumscribed limits

Are just exiled or expelled

And so we create so often

A flat grey world

So drained of the intense colours of nature

Of vitality

Uniqueness

Contrast and Difference

Why don’t we celebrate those foreign or special things

That would open us up

Or lead us to a greater imagining

Is it any wonder

Some souls give up

They just get tired

Of the flatness

And exile

And so they slip away

Or just perform a cut

That ends with blood draining out

And life seeping away

As their spirits fly

Back to the essence of nature

Where their souls sense

They most truly belong

"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. The parameters that people have constructed, by and large, make no sense to me. There is this idea that rules and traditions and convention MUST be followed, even when the people who abide by this most vociferously also tend to be the ones who deviate the most. Why then?
    I, like you, believe in the essence of a person, their soul.
    Lovely piece, Deb.

  2. Incredible piece of work. The words are woven into a tapestry of what this world is like… If only more people saw the essence of how truly beautiful nature is. If it could only hug us and protect us from the cold and ruthless ways of how other persons can be. 💕
