The Sugar in Your Lemonade

They say the water is fresh, but it tastes like lava. Like an orange flame in the sky, torture souls in the ground. It is the water fountain at the edge of the road, cars and people going by, and no one is saying hi. It cries intoxicatingly, bleeding profusely for a clean bed, a beautiful skirt, and a clean underwear, but no one cares. Stinky feet marching through like soldiers in the battlefield, livid daylight testimonials pearcing through the book pages like a salad on the menu, rocks giving it a purpose to live. Shut up, they utter, anguish dribbling in her face we see, dry tears dripping through yesterday’s scars for today’s newspaper is heard on the loud speaker. It bleeds still, I see it, you see it, they see it but no one seem to care as it appears I can’t seem to stop the train from rolling through the mud but He can. So, we wait!

Sometimes, your soul just needs to be fed.

The Psychedelic Road Trip: Grief

Describe grief. There are no words or amount of phrases that will constitute a complete sentence to it. It is an indescribable road trip all of us, liking it or not, will one day end up taking, whether by boat, plane, bicycle, bike or automobile of feelings on a bind, whatever way, it will happen unless we go first, and how we deal with it is one potato soup of bridges. It is an avalanche of thrifty separation, an anxiety of discarded collective uncertainties that pour like rain drops at moments notice. Not a roadmap was ever designed on how to best circumvent the thunderstorm of feelings wrapped around the chest of incurable cheats, as it is an individual journey, but time in the long run is the best antidote in the market. How long will one be stuck on taking the pill?! Only God knows. Keep the faith. Don’t despair. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Be strong, they say, but what can I say? It has only been ninety five days?! I am still looking at the door. It ain’t opening. It is still closed!🤷🏽‍♀️🕊 ✝️
