breathless longing

I will lay breathless here

with the longing I cannot speak of

you will believe I suffer from

Some incurable malady

never guessing the little gestures

that could make it possible

for me to open my heart and lungs

to the air

you will see the weakness in me

but not the strength or power

that got stolen

when those around me

made it almost impossible to connect

cutting me off with no life line

leaving me to drop

and neither will I be able to speak of it

you will call me a victim

full of self pity

because my own confusion and loss

makes me go over and over and over old hurts

always counting their cost

and with eyes turned blind

you will not see the truth

and in no longer seeing

no longer reaching

yet again all of my breath

will be stolen

"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.
