Splinters of Truth



The mirrors of the moment reflected
My breaking heart:
Feverish passion
Loneliness and despair.

Autumn leaves fall dead around my feet
Glorious life suspended for another season:
As time stops to heal the heart,
Fragment and fractured.

Splinters of truth
strewn amongst the dead embers of hope:
Disarray forms like icicles caught in the storm
Nowhere to take rest.

The mirrors of the moment reflected
my breaking heart:
feverish passion
loneliness and despair.

deborah k Bates

My passion is people and assisting them to create the life they want. I do this as an Author – Counsellor – Mentor.A professional writer I write to inspire through the encouragement of viewing life through metaphor, higher perspectives, introspection and the principles of nature.With a goal and purpose – to turn the mundane world upside down and into a magical journey – to negate the annihilating nature of self reproach or self loathing towards feeling whole as a person – to encourage one to dream beyond their wildest dreams to create the life they want to live – to transform mediocrity into magnificent – to find ecstasy and joviality despite the ups and downs.Discover more at http://www.deborahkbates.com Read my blog at http://www.deborahkbates.com/blog more…
