The silence

The silence knows me well

It whispers my name

As inky blackness

Descends

As the dark wave

Claims me

Sounding a deafening roar

That drowns out so completely

Any memory of love

Tectonic plates of certainty and safety

Shift

Tilting my consciousness sideways

Dark moist leaves litter the ground

As we briskly walk

The dusky streets

As wild winds whirl

All around us

Speaking to me of

Armageddon

"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. Hi Deb .. It’s very silent here, excep For the rain and the sound of a cold wind … I’m sitting at my computer looking at the dark clouds, and the dull sky, and wondering where the daylight has gone … and then I wrote this Tanka

    Infinity (a Tanka)

    Beyond the daylight
    A trillion light-years away
    Can there be more light?
    Where does the universe end?
    Is infinity the light?

    1. I took myself out in the car so I could be in the sunlight Ivor.. It got me down yesterday it was so super soggy.. its why I wrote that poem.. I felt better for it.. we do come from light but this world seems so shut down and full of darkness at times.. there is a greater reality I know this so deeply in my heart but that Tanka and the longing in it makes perfect sense to me.
