The devil’s voice

The devil with will try to convince you all the time

Of things that are not real

He will pray on your fears

And reduce you to tears

Sucking all the love of yourself

Out from under you

Making you believe that you are not

A beloved child of God

What is the wily way he has

What are the things he echoes

Through you

Sounding out their reverberations

Like a hollow cymbal

You will never be enough

You are not loved

And most of all you have to strive

While knowing always how utterly you will fall short

Of his imposed ideals

All unreal

None of which ultimately

Will with stand the test of time

And though his conviction grips you

While the force of his argument condemns you

Never the less

Within the hollow emptiness

His litany carves out

Over time you will come to hear

The call of your rejected self

Asking you to turn a deaf ear

Begging you

To give it up

This lack of love

And recognise

The devil’s voice

Could never be

A force of truth or 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.

    1. Im reading Paul Ferrinis wonderful book The Wounded Child’s Journey into Love’s Embrace and he has a great take on how the negative ego functions to defend, attack and keep us separate but this came through in meditation late last night. I had turned the computer off but I had to put it back on to write it. Interesting you are seeing this too, Fiery. Lots of love ❤
