Making Lemonade 12/27/2022

Pulling the covers
Over my head
Trying to hide
Don’t have the courage
To face the pain and agony
That unexpectedly
Arrived yesterday.

So how do I make lemonade
From the lemons
Life has given me?

Digging deep inside
The rhythm of life
Embeds itself
Within the soul.

Allow yourself
To break apart
Tis the only way
The light of hope
Is able to free itself.

No holding back
Express the pain
That your brokenness
Has exposed
Tis the only way
To heal it.

Feel the rhythm of life
Beckoning you to move
Beckoning you to dance
With the pain and sorrows
Like there is no tomorrow.

Only you can feel
Your soul’s rhythm
Speaking to you
Always listen intuitively
Within your heart
And never doubt
These lemons
Will help you
Personally grow.
