Friends with humility

Feather.jpg

50 Shades of despair

Live hidden deep inside this fear

Obscuring their presence behind smoke screens

Of anxiety

There are the haunted memories of times

I knew no home

And only just began to glimpse

What my reactions hid from view

And how could I really understand

Until the vapours cleared

And I found myself kneeling deep in pools of tears

What absence it was that hounded me

Throughout these years

But now I know

There is no way to reclaim what was lost

And it is only acceptance of reality

That will set me free

From all of these illusions born of thwarted longing

Residing deep inside the heart of emptiness

And so as I take down the dreams

That I used to keep me airborne

I recognise my deepest work

Is not to fly high in misguided reverie

But to descend to ground

And make friends

With humility

"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. I love how this mixes abstract feeling with imagery. You really do have such a fantastic way with words, especially here with parts about “misguided reverie” and “illusions born of thwarted longing”. x
