Lemonade Demons
Is this another day to begin again?
Another day to reinvent who to be in this waltzing life.
I watch others who seem to have found their step.
Their rhythm is a structure of beginning a morning, finding the day and being a less complicated evening.
Talk falls easily from their reasonable and fond of living lips.
Even if they’re desperately miserable (hidden in sentinel smiles) there’s a sense of ownership of what life is.
I envy, I covet, I spy them with my eye and I want to have a little of that Rapunzel spun right stuff.
I’m told it’s simple.
You do what you can and get on with it.
Getting on has been a confused sport of jumping hurdles and juggling lemonade demons.
Those sweet demons inhabit us until our lame excuses limp us to another beginning line to hang our heads up to dry out for another day.

Some people do make life look easy but are they living life or simply passing through?
As for those lemonade demons, a sure mix of something a bit more stronger will surely see them on there way.

wonderful KS xo
Hi Tom
I loved your thoughts here ….. Simply passing through but they make it look so easy….. or is that the whole point.
It it is too easy then what depth is there???
Thanks for your soulful eyes…xx

Life is such a mix of things for some people.
It is the jugglers that really impress me the most. Thank you for stopping by Lisa and for your supportive presence here on the bubble. You are a very valuable asset to our community. xxx

Sounds a little like me. Only I tend to get drunk on different kinds of drinks with my so many different moods. This one is very thought provoking.

I am not so clever. and I am dwelling on these lines:
Talk falls easily from their reasonable and fond of living lips.
Even if they’re desperately miserable (hidden in sentinel smiles) there’s a sense of ownership of what life is.

Hi my dear poetess in arms….
I have been visiting your shadow and have thought about you in your home missing your faithful one.
It adds to another day of missing and another of healing….
Much love to you. xxxx
