Thoughts
This is the third poem in my Series on Silence.
Thoughts
by Deborah A. Bowman
Thoughts come in massive crowds.
I see them as clumps of clouds.
Some are dark, angry, forbidding.
Others are light, airy, forgiving.
Ease them away into a clear, blue sky.
Don’t even bother to wonder why.
Thoughts like mist pass through and move.
Calm, Silence, this is your proof
That your higher being is one with the Universe.
All static, chaotic energy is released.
Dwell on the present, your new home.
There’s no more reason for your thoughts to roam.

Wonderful poem! It seems you had a very productive retreat, Deborah.

Yes, I did. The spiritual goes without saying, but the healing aspects were phenomenal. I’m still here, and I wasn’t sure that would be the case. Had a big crisis this time with Lupus. But I guess you guys are stuck with me for a while.

You understand the uncertainty of living with Lupus. I’ve always felt proud that I could work, sing, play music, etc., even when I couldn’t dance anymore. This time it attacked my heart and lungs. I had a heart attack. Big wakeup call! Breathing is tough. 1000 mcg’s of steroids a day. I look like the balloon lady. But there is hope even at this stage. I do want to sing again, but if not, my verses of poetry will sing! I’ve been fighting it over 25 years. Give my blessings and prayers to your family members. I cry when I see young girls with it. I danced till dawn, had a baby, was athletic and did all the things I wanted to do before it hit me. Some young women will never feel those joys, and I hurt for them.

Lovely poem and images — very peaceful and inspiring. I’m sorry to hear of your struggles with lupus and your heart attack. š¦ I can’t even begin to imagine how frightening that must’ve been. Sending you lots of good wishes and blessings for both your body and spirit.

Thank you. You are such a dear to respond. I was so afraid I said too much. Lupus is insidious. Hope you are healthy, happy, and thriving as well as a beautiful, caring spirit.
