Drifting

Each sea is connected, they lead back to one another

Each sea is connected, they lead back to one another.

Don't get caught in the mid drift of your own elation.

Stepping away from spiritual talk for a moment, I'm going to become literal. You cannot allow yourself to get caught in the wrong current in the sea of life. Based off of what the water feels like.

I'm saying do not be afraid of your emotions.

Do not allow your feelings, pathos, elation to dictate the better logic of things. Especially if one knows that the decisions being made are biased to suffice thine own feelings only. That is selfish. Do not be selfish in that sense. Take care of your soul, by all means. But, do not be out to only benefit thyself and push away those who are out to benefit for you. Meaning, when someone wants to be there for you and expresses through their actions they are genuine, let their works manifest, do not shut them out, swimming away from their waters, those may the the waters that save you.

Each sea is connected, they lead back to one another.

Don't get caught in the mid drift of your own elation.

"Will I be seeing you at court today? The trial ends today..." Mother Morena's soft voice questioned into the receiver.

Nevaeh bounced on my lap jubilantly, as I tickled her toes. We were seated on my porch awaiting her father to come pick us up.

"Um, y-yeah. I'll be there.."

"Olympas-"

"Please don't.." I emitted breath.

"Alright," she emitted a breath. "Um, Eve wanted me to-"

"How do you know Eve?" I questioned. "Not to...meddle in your business."

"Well, I met her in May..I know that she's Oly's girlfriend," why did that sting to hear? "and she's a great friend of yours."

"I had no idea you guys met. She's a great person, honestly." I smiled weakly.

"I like her..just not as much as I like you and Ol-"

"Mother Morena." I stated.

"I'm sorry! But, you know that you should be in Evangeline's place. You know it, I know it, my daughter and son in law knows it. The whole universe-hell even Satan knows it!"

"Mother Morena, please. Stop it!" I raised my voice slightly. In taking a breath, I pinched the bridge of my nose. "I'm sorry..look, I-I'll see you at court later.."

"Olympas."

"Goodbye.." I disconnected the call.

Nevaeh glanced up at me with curious eyes. Almost as if she knew something was wrong. Children always know when something is off with their parent. They can feel it, they're very in touch with their intuition until the world comes and spoils their precious minds.
