Beneath appearances

You may not hear me deep down inside here

Struggling in vain

It may be hard for you

To recognise my pain

When it comes out in violence

It may be hard for you

To have compassion for someone

Whose true self was so silenced

By a world that told parts of us

We had no right to exist

But can you appreciate the struggle now?

For this much I know

Sometimes deep feelings go mute

And its so hard to find the way back to

The soul and heart`s fundamental truth

When we lose trust

In the true power of what we feel

What agonies are often revealed

Hidden beneath anger

But please my friend

Don’t you know

How important it is to truly listen

To what is being said

Or not said underneath words

And to see deeply in to the heart

That had to chose to barricade itself

So completely

From suffering

"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 always wonder about the soul and heart’s deepest truths. For me they are so far away from the surface, and maybe never to be really dug up. I reveal a lot of myself in my poems, there’s a deep undertone of anguish and anxiety, but, I do not delve into my deepest wells, the walls are too steep to climb and they shall stay trapped below.
