Twisting, turning, have you seen her
Tiny perfect ballerina?
A fantasy of style and grace
Effortless within her space
Oh how I want to be like her
My limbs co-ordinate, concur
Admired for my perfect stance
Moving in a graceful dance
Or is her truth right there to see?
A dreamer who is trapped - like me
No way to leave
No place to go
She dances when I make it so
No life to live no world to see
Moving
Whirling
Never free
Wishing...
Can I?
Should I?
Dare I?
Hold the image in my mind’s-eye
But wishes come and choices go
Can I?
Could I?
Will I?
No
I dreamt that I’d reveal my art
Not keep my life and truth apart
I’d make a choice and choose myself
(She’s in the box upon a shelf)
I’ve lost what no one else can see
And fallen short of being me
The quantum leap I could not time
Close the lid and close my mind
But I still hope
For I have seen her
Tiny perfect ballerina

I'm a writer, public speaker, medium, and spiritual thinker. I suffered from acute anxiety from the age of 16 until I was well into my 50s, when I finally found methods that helped me to put it behind me. My struggles led to me exploring life through poetry, then plays, and over a 15 year period I made notes for a self help book which I published in 2015. Details on the book page. Although I am a psychic medium and loved the work, it didn’t feel right for me. It was an utter privilege, but my path was the exploration of what it means to be spirit in the real world and how we can make practical use of those abilities. Nowadays I write, blog, and teach soul-centred living, which is a gentle way of undoing past programming and connecting to your essential self, or soul. If you’re interested email me and we can chat. No pressure, it’s right for you or it’s not and you will know. The groups meet on line so no going out on cold, wet, winter’s evenings. On a personal note, I’m based in the UK. Married with five cats, no children, and four grandchildren, thanks to our inherited daughter, who has gifted us four beautiful little people that bring us such joy. Hope you enjoy the blogs. Deb xx
