Ice water and steam : writing prompt

I wrote this as a stream of consciousness poem researching old writing prompts on WordPress.

The waters of your soul froze

Under his steely gaze

There was not way to speak of those things

Most essential to your heart

When he held you captive within the vice of negation

But deep inside your body the ice began to melt

As your tears fell in silence

And then it was you gazed upon a puddle

Reflecting a thousand night stars

And in time all of this steam rises

As the sun shines upon the truth

You can no longer hide from

Points of light begin to gleam

Piercing through the indigo blue

Of your soul

There were a million ways of running

You tried them all

But the person you longed for

Was patiently waiting there all along

Hidden deep inside your heart and soul

All folded up like a piece of complex origami

The colors of is magic design

Dazzle

As you fall

Into the place of recollection

While all of those fractured pieces of yourself

That scattered

Rearrange themselves

Into a new pattern

A dizzy soul defining kaleidoscope

A magical new design

"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.
