Unbidden


                                 You who have been absent from me
                                 For so long

                                 You come to me now
                                 Electricity races beneath my skin

                                 The refiner's fire once more consumes me
                                 Unbidden

    I don't recall you doing poetry on here before. I loved it. On a side note, who ever did that ink was very talented. All the lines are straight and the same size.

    Very nice! I know how it feels to once more feel the divine return when there has been an absence. "called or not called, the god will be there" Delphi Oracle
    On a side note - thinking about getting some ink?

    Hi Dezzy -- Jeanne has nailed it! This poem is about spirituality. Yeah, okay, and some sex too.

    Hi Jeanne -- No, still not thinking about getting inked!

    Hi Bobbybegood1 -- In my experience, it is the Divine who reaches out and calls our name, not vice versa. All we have to do is wise up and be open enough to hear and understand. Speaking as a dense person, though, I have found that's not always an easy thing to accomplish.

    I liked this Debra. We do have to learn to be open and vulnerable enough to hear and see what is coming towards us.

    Hey Debra ;o) I just wrote you a long comment and it went away? I will start again ;o)
    Your poem is very powerful! I love it! You are very talented!
    I got a surprise phone call today, from our friend, "Robin". We started talking about you! She misses blogging so much. Robin didn't realize HRH passed away. She felt so bad! I told her not to worry, because you know, she is going through a lot right now with her hubby! She sends you lots of love!

    Dear Debra,

    This, my friend, was an electronic tonic.

    Wow. You lit a stick of dynamite in so few words. It's very evocative, sexy even.
