You Don’t Feel Me

Posted bydebdancingstarhawken7Posted inPoetryTags:, , , , , , 
I know what you’re thinking

Ha ha ha

But that reflects the point



We say or write words

And those words are heard or read

But they’re not felt



As a race we laid down our instincts

At the foot of progress

And we devalued our emotions

To honour intellect



We lost so much



We lost the ability to know each other

We mislaid the map 

To the deeper level



We believe that seeing words on a screen

Means we’re communicating

But we’re not



We hear words and we run them 

Through our thoughts and experience

Our beliefs and standards



We find someone wanting

Measured by our understanding of life

And in the spaces between words

We insert our beliefs



And so everyone becomes

A watered-down version

Of other beliefs and prejudices

Judged by the events of other lives



We are not engaging

We’re like two ends of a train

Three stations apart

With a missing coupling



To hear someone properly

You need to feel their meaning

To know their heart 

Understand their truth

Hear their words

And trust them





Deb Hawken – December 2021

Published by debdancingstarhawken7

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
