Hello,
My name's Deb Flanagan,
An intuitive artist and alchemist,
And I would like to share with you a poem I created titled The Undoing.
I hope you enjoy it.
My heart and soul are tired,
My head has been running the show.
Why,
Oh why,
Oh why,
Oh why,
Can't I just let go?
It seems a constant battle,
It sees my body in pain.
I know I should know better,
These old patterns are here again.
I know I had dealt with you like a naughty child,
But you keep on returning and now you're running wild.
I'm tired of all the suffering,
I'm tired of all the pain,
I'm tired of not trusting that everything will be okay.
I question did I really choose this path before me?
When does it get easier,
When will I just be?
The dying of the ego seems a constant battle,
More and more layers,
Shredded like a tail.
I don't know what I believe anymore,
I question who to trust,
When all and all and all and all,
It's me and God I must.
Surrender isn't easy,
Well it hasn't been for me,
It is my destiny number,
Shedding like the leaves.
I know I can be powerful,
I know I can be love,
But when this darkness takes over it's like being swallowed by the whale.
I know I must surrender,
I know I must trust,
I know I want to return,
Return to being dust.
So when this washes over me I dig and dig and dig,
I dig for my strength and courage and I dig for love.
I am learning to be gracious,
I'm learning to be peace,
I'm learning to be kind,
Kind to my own self.
I'm learning to forgive all of my mistakes,
I'm learning to undo,
Undo all of myself.
I ask for assistance,
I ask for God's love,
I ask to be patient,
I ask it to be done.
I thank you for listening,
I thank you for strength,
I ask to feel supported and safe,
Accepting of myself.
That's the end of the poem,
I hope you enjoyed it.
Bye for now.
