Dancing

On the way home

Crossing the bridge

Late autumn light

Shining bright

Illuminating

Every thing

I imagined you and I

Face to face

And hand to hand

Dancing a slow dance

In that old land of our past

But it was now in my mind

As in my soul I felt you close

As forgiveness poured out of every cell

In a flood

With this torrent of love

For you the father I lost

So many years ago

Maybe I will never

Hold my beloved in this way

Maybe it is too late

Now to stop caring for the family left

Who seem to give so little back

But was it their responsibility?

For my soul just wants to be free

As an autumn breeze

And that is why now I draw comfort

From this internal reverie

In which you and I finally get to be

That innocent father and daughter

We lost the way to

All of those

Long, long years ago

"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. Such a heartfelt poem, I can see the dance so clearly. I often think in all human hearts is the same heaven, when people really reflect and write what their heaven would be. I feel a glimpse of yours at the end of this poem. You captured such a beautiful emotion so well.

    1. Thanks so much. There was something about helping my sister thaf made this all flood into my mind and heart. Trying to remember what closeness there could have been had life been so different. It wasn’t but this brought me comfort and helped my heart open instead of clench. If that makes sense.

      1. It makes sense to me. I experience something similar I think. I sometimes can get lost in the anger or hurt or frustration with the difference between what I wish for and reality and those feelings do close my heart it feels. However I too experience that when I instead sort of bring a little of my dreams alive in my imagination it helps open my heart. Helps me keep my focus on what is most important to me and the type of attitude I’d like to have.

      2. Yes, I am really beginning to realize the power we have to change the focus back to love…sometimes I fail though.. but at least I am realizing there are ways to make myself feel better instead of just indulge in the hurting all of the time.. if that makes sense..
