Lets not talk about death

Death.jpg

Let’s not talk about death

But honey it is all around us

And don’t you see

Its only the darker face of life

The ghost that shadows our waking days

But maybe my love I understand

You want to be in life

You want to live

And a long time ago you

Lost you Dad

And maybe no one ever speaks to you of him

When you say to me

Let’s not talk about death

I feel so shut down

I feel that I am

Once again the one who wants to engage

With things taboo

That others only fear

And want to run a mile from

But isn’t it the shamans way

To enter the world of shades

Only to come out again and tell the tale

Realising how precious is

This gift of life

Maligned and tortured

Feared or misunderstood

Only our culture could

So completely eradicate all whiff of death

‘To make of the life left such a living hell

For those who suffer

With truths and experiences locked so deep inside

They are never permitted to know, feel

Or speak of

That they must then cover over

Pretend and hide

"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.

  2. For a lot of people talking about death is hard, especially if they’re lost someone close. I don’t necessarily think that he shot YOU down, just maybe wasn’t as comfortable with the topic as you are. In the place he’s in as well, where death is around him all the time, it might be particularly uncomfortable and maybe even terrifying to even think about death… even the more “positive” aspects of it, like it helping us to really appreciate life. I don’t know if this is indeed the case, but it’s what came to mind. ❤

    1. Thanks Rayne I really appreciate your feedback. I overdramatised and made a bigger deal out of it than was needed but it just hit a raw never and all you write is so true.

      We talked everything through and we came back to an understanding. I think I was lacking empathy for him by being too caught up in my own reaction and response and I felt bad about it later.

      Bless you ❤
