Sourness in life
Is like lemons in lemonade,
Is like shattered paint on canvas.
Composing something new in life,
Even broken strokes,
Can spark a new beginning on canvas.
Wielding the sourness of life
Cooks a new dish within us—
Like lemons in lemonade.
Should we learn to play with sourness,
to make our life a beautiful dish?

- Comment from author about the poem: Every bitter drop can become a masterpiece. "Sourness" is reflecting on how painful or “sour” moments can actually become the ingredients for growth and creativity. Just like lemons in lemonade or broken brushstrokes in a painting, the bitterness we experience can be transformed into something nourishing and beautiful if we’re willing to “play with” it instead of resisting it.

All it takes is a bit of sugar. A lovely write that uses adversity as a positive. Nicely done.
