Before the axe came down

Last night listening to that song

I was taken back to teenage years

Before the axe came down

Severing me from love

And I remembered how it was

To be with you both

Often so alone .. like an only child

But cradled at least

By something close to love

And it seems to me

That the later fall through outer space

Eclipsed for so long

More tender memories

Of innocent days

Before destruction of life

Set me so far apart

From everyone

So that now it seems

I can only find complete comfort

In aloneness and silence

So when you come offering me love

And I am tempted to shut the door on it

Will I find the courage

To allow the surrender of blocked memory

To free

The torrent of grief

That will open and carry me forward

To a place

Where I can finally embrace

The possibility of dependency

Connection and love

"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.
