Abandoned

“Those who depend on us, if cast away Will return to haunt us another day” ~ quote by poet When the love of our life abandons us, we feel that the world has come to an end, as our heart contracts and dark fears nonplus, spark of joy in soul we fail to defend, so in dark dungeons of despair we blend. All seems lost but if we give God a chance, His grace let’s us see that life’s but a dance, where all that comes and goes is unreal so thus accepting our changed circumstance, innate love and light, we begin to feel. Roles reversed, if we have the upper hand, feeling we’re now from our partner estranged, having gift of flirtation on demand, would we maintain our loyalty unchanged or walk away, leaving our love deranged? It’s so easy to judge and to find fault but if our soul we’re to truly exalt, we must work on consciousness correction, that from call of love we do not default, beholding in each heart, God’s reflection.

Thank you, Paula. Fear of abandonment ranks high among all fears, in my view, though the highest perhaps being fear of death

Thank you, SP. I’d prefer to go with the other contest prompt ‘Angelic’, let’s see if I can get down to it though today. Constance’s contests hardly run for a few days, entries fill up quite fast!

Temptation abounds and our hearts are often treacherous. But, yes, how would we feel if we were the one being betrayed, jilted? Something to ponder

I certainly don't believe in reincarnation, but we do have this one life in which to prove ourselves, for better or worse

Indeed ~ hence role reversal or what we call karma comes into play, life after life, that soul, in role of victim, finally forgives the aggressor and exits the game.
