Dark Times, Bright Petals

Petal by petal, I’ve accessed a wealth of memories and hence dreams. Fantasies, as lingering scents dance past me…the floating procession of our brief and incredible  bond. The days pass by and the vibrant insatiable past becomes a faded non-reality. How existence itself needs to be revived constantly, less we disappear. To swing back and forth from something so exciting and brimming with promise…to an empty cup with cracks that seeps precious ambrosia and feeds it to the ungrateful pavement of your icy heart.

If only there was warmth enough to melt this confusion so that there was no effect of treated glass or mirrors, but simply the naked truth. Alas, that is not the case for us…we prefer to be shrouded in mystery, I suppose. So then what is one to do when faced with such pain? Pain is not something that can be avoided. Life always sends you the bill. Sometimes, injecting one with false hope is more damaging than healing.

Hence, every moment must be tackled. These feelings expressed are ones that will be experienced by all at one point. One must focus on the self to get through it all. Start with taking care of yourself both physically and mentally. Treating yourself is important. Proper sleep will help, dedicating time to yourself as well…here are some companions that we know will cheer up anyone…because dark times happen inevitably, but there are ways of handling them with grace.
