the growing inner light

Love was always there

Hiding inside my heart

I waited for you in a world

That so often became cold and empty

Because I never felt

Truly seen or heard

Life revolved around your own demands

And sometimes there was no way

To make my presence known

So I grew quiet

And learned to internalise

While the hunger for love grew

But not in a way I could

Express or recognise

So much deep distress

Resulted

That it has taken years

To acknowledge it

And so now I stop looking for

The faces that don’t see me

Instead I turn to face myself

And seek comfort from those things

That bring me gladness

And so often lately

I am surprised by the joy that just arises

After a wind swept walk

As I feel the dancing flame

Inside my heart

Growing

As the fire of my spirit

Shines its light

Keeping my soul warm

"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. That’s so good to hear from an outer perspective Astrid. I wish our family was closer but then I see at times I turned away too, I am slowly coming to terms with it all. I am so glad now life is just not sadness and joy is finally closer. Love to you and thanks again. ❤
