testament

As I open m heart to embrace the truth of my life

Confusion and longings unrequited

Mix with clarity and life

As I feel the slumbering spirit in me rising

Then there is the open heart

That must face pain and sadness

As well as gratitude for all that remains

Sunshine, life and rain

But I feel also this

The heavy weight of a heart

That at times

Light as a feather

Even as it flies this way and that

On the breeze of words you utter

You tell me to embrace love

When you withhold the gift of

Your unconditional understanding

I take your arrows deep into my heart

Knowing what is happening now

Will tear us apart

And yet

Even still

The fissure that opens

Will contain its mysterious blessings

And in the abyss I will find

Hidden deep inside all of the

Tears and fears

A heart filled to the brim with a love

That sears my soul

Like a flame

That is never extinguished

Even when all that remains

Is ash

There is still existing there

Awakened through love

The capacity to reclaim

The depth of a truth

Impossible

To articulate in words

Born testament to

Only in silence

"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. Hello Deb, how are you…. sorry I’ve been a bit quite…. I think I’ve mentally drained myself (Again)… I’ve been writing some very powerful and emotional poems recently, and for my general well being, I need to slow down, because now I’m not sure whether it’s adrenaline or anxieties that are pushing me, so i think I’ll sit back, just do blog reads, likes, and not any comments for a few days (except for my Go Dog Go Cafe commitments)….. I’m going out for a coffee and a cake, and a walk……. sometimes I think, this is when I need a little dog….. ((hugs))

    1. I wish I was there to join you Ivor. I have to head out soon. I missed you but I understand. I am here and I cant wait to read your poems. My internet was down all last week so that kept me quiet too. It sounds like Mercury retrograde was working deeply on your soul. Enjoy your cake and walk, dear beautiful friend. If I lived closer I would lend you Jasper. xoox
