To need

Sometimes I need you

And this is not a lie

Sometimes a heart just needs another

But sometimes

When I go to you

There is no one there

To really talk to

And other times you surprise me

Why is it so hard

Sometimes?

You see when a sense of safety is stolen

How do we find the courage

To trust again

To keep reaching out

And not be convinced of the lie

That we are completely broken

By the neglect?

Does it lie in coming to know

We are at least as large

As the hurt we feel

And even in the feeling of it

Can find a way to be

And then set it free

Knowing its just the way

Life and humans roll?

Maybe its okay to live this life alone

But then sometimes

There is a loneliness

Only healed through human company

The touch of a hand

Or someone willing to really listen

And make the effort to truly understand

What it is we really need

Beyond words

"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.
