Cachophany

So many low murmuring voices

Surrounding me

In this medical cachophany

As our chaotic human world

Devolves in an errant symphony

Shattered by trauma and over whelmed I lie

Alternatively astounded

And also terrifying

As a young child

I could not control

The overpowering forces

Impinging upon my body

Mind and soul

And far too long ago I surrendered my power

And only sadly

Realised my mistake

So this is the fragmented mess of my life

I must now face

How can I hold things together anymore?

As all I loved disappears

And yet surrounding me is also

So much love

Falling like gentle rain

From the heavens above

While the storm rages

And my belly grows emptier

Truly I am disintegrating

Falling into the darkest most chaotic

Wilderness

A deep void from which there appears

No possibility of return

"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. Back when we were young, we may not have the powers to, tune all of the cacophony out, but, we are all, grown up now, and more able to, separate what we hear as true, and what are the, lies, and, be able to, ignore, all those, lies that others may try and force us to, swallow down, and, internalize.

  2. I hear your despair. 💔 Is there a pathway to getting back to your house that is being discussed? I feel hope is a powerful force. I hope someone around you is on your side and encouraging you.

  3. Hang in there my lovely, use this time as a recalibration. You’ve done nothing wrong, only been kind, but it’s time to fully focus on yourself now! Allow the hospital to help. Feel the anger as it comes up but breathe and stay calm! You need to keep a sound mind and not be put anywhere! Sending much love, and I know you’ll be ok… we’re all have the crazy days at the moment! ❤️

  4. Dear Deborah, I’m sorry I’m so late leaving my comment. I read your post soon after you wrote it, but then I couldn’t find it again. Today, I was determined and went through my inbox with a fine toothcomb, and here you are.
    I’m so sorry you’re going through such awful pain, mentally, emotionally and physically. I feel for you so much, my friend, and wish I could do something to get you out of that place. I know you wrote in this post that they wanted to put you in the psychiatric ward. Did they do that, and is that where you are now. You also said you were bedridden – that must be awful for you as it makes you feel so powerless, which is the last thing you need right now. I remember the cacophony of hospital wards – always so much noise and bustle and no peace. I hate to think of you there. Please, know that I am thinking of you so often, and I’m only sorry I’ve taken so long to reply and to be there for you in the only way I can at the moment. Sending you so much love, my friend. I offer you an endless supply of comforting and healing hugs. Xxxx 💙💜💐💜💙
