The sleep of oblivion

Sometimes I like to wish

Darkness did not exist

When the knife twists

And I see evidence of how

Human beings hurt each other

And of the scars they leave

Or the inner kinks

There really are no ways to straighten

Or fix

Sometimes I like to think it all has a purpose

That there is redemption that can occur

When really sometimes the harder truth is

More painful

More frightening

More heartbreaking

Lately I am losing my sense of order

And seeing how hard I tried

To put the broken pieces back together

When really the whole sorry mess

Was completely shattered

So very far beyond repair

And so it is these days and nights

I would rather rest here

At peace within the late evening quiet

Seeking my resolution in the darkness

For I am growing tired of the ways of men

For sometimes lately a

All my soul longs for

Is the sleep of

Oblivion

"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. I relate to what you’ve shared here. These feelings make sense to me. I hold to hope, that letting go of dreams that need letting go of, will make space to pick up the joys from the past and move forward with new dreams. The dreams I was born with. The dreams I let go of and forgot existed because I thought I had to to survive or be loved and accepted.

    But I feel those dreams have been seeking me my whole life, calling to me, and finally I feel I’m starting to hear them and listen.

    Thinking of you and your beautiful self. Take care of her, she deserves it ❤️🌸
