A bracelet of stars

A bracelet of stars

Captured my longing from afar

Circling the moon

As I pray to the heavens

That you will come home soon

Haunted as these early evenings are

By your absence

My pretence of not caring

Shatters with this ache I buried

Under anger

While stars remind me

Of how easily

Children dream

With a breathless innocence

Of magic and moon beams

And of how weary the elderly become

After life has stolen from them

The days of hope and gold

As their lives collapse

Fold upon fold

Enclosing the child who once dreamt

Of stars

Deep inside

So I am glad that I feel her here

Inside my chest

The little child who loves you

With an innocence born of inexperience

For my jaded age

Of calcified rage

Over old hurts

Has long ago reached

Its use by date

And the bracelet of stars

Captures my imagining

As buried longings unfold

Here

Deep inside my tattered heart

"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.
