Tell me about you

Tell me about you

I really want to know

Sometimes I just long for friendship

The open hand

The tender heart

The willingness to understand

And never seek to judge

Lately I think of how alone

Both Mum and Dad were

Growing up

Was it any wonder

They did not really always know

How to relate to us

And then i think of the young girl

Sitting on a stair

Watching families play

But knowing that night all she would have

To keep her company was a stone

Now it makes sense of how

I struggled at this time of night

And of how when I felt you drawing close

All I really ever knew to do

Was pull away

Didn’t it all just replay

With these men I now know

So desperately lonely

Longing to connect and be so fully

Utterly

Completely known

And do not so many of us ache for something

Deeply felt

Yet barely perceptible

Something that continues to shadow us

And will not ever let our hearts

Fully rest or feel complete

Without it

"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. We always have a feeling that having someone or something around us would make us feel complete or more understood but despite all longings we ought to feel complete from within. I believe we must learn to seek our own company.

    1. I do agree.. I am beginning slowly to move out of that childlike longing. I was trying to give a voice to the conundrum I go through we do need others and life is sweeter with good connections but our solid base of love must be within.. thanks so much for your insight and thoughts..

  2. Such a profound and deep vulnerability in this poetry.
    But I have found no human can satisfy the lonely heart. Because we are all sinners, and at our best, we will still fail the ones we love.
    But Augustine said “The heart is restless until it finds its rest in God.” (not exact quote). He will never fail us.

  3. I’m not always able to read your blog, Deb, but when I do I get such a sense of your beautiful light. That even though you have been through so much you are still able to find the words to say how you feel.
