Melancholy

You show me a sunset

and my heart swells

with memories

time it seems

does not exist

in these moments

my tears fall softly

unseen

my heart admits truths

that my soul always knew

but that my mind hid from me

until lately

now it seems I am falling too

just like that teardrop

and even amidst great sadness

and melancholy

love is here

dancing inside of my heart

because somewhere deep inside

my higher self is revealing

it is a lie

I ever lived

separated or set apart

from love

"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.

  2. This is such a beautiful poem, Deborah. I love the lines ‘my heart admits truths that my soul always knew but that my mind hid from me.’ I can really identify with this. I hope you are well and taking care of yourself as best you can. Hugs … Xx 💓

      1. I’m so glad you’re finding you’re able to be kinder to yourself and your inner child, Deborah. It’s something I need to work on, too. It’s not easy to change the habits of a lifetime. I’m relatively okay although somewhat stressed. I had a super-busy day yesterday (quite unusual for me) and didn’t get time to read many of my blogging buddies’ posts, which I like to keep up with. I’m very worried about losing my counsellor of nine months. I only have three sessions left before Christmas and then the final one on the 4th of January. It’s a very frightening time for me – I’ve written a lot about it over the last month or so, which has helped a bit. Do you have anything nice planned for yourself today? Hug Xx 🤗💕

      2. I really understand how dreadful that feels Ellie, before connecting with my current therapist I went through that several times. We need a consistent living attachment figure when we never got to build our inner foundation. I will be praying you find someone soon. Have a beautiful day. 😍
