Aching all over, from my head to my feet
Can’t even eat with the pain in my teeth
Maxing out on pain relief, to no avail
It’s really taking the wind from my sail.
Rubbing clove oil into my gums
The pain subsides, then back it comes
Dosing up on vitamin C
Enjoying its effervescency.
The wind picks up & fills my sail
I’ll head out tonight, without fail
To deliver some spoken word
Fresh from the mouth of the bird with the Word.
Faith In The Ripple Effect
