Rest, repose, relax, reflect,release, relief, a respite
from the stressors and aggressors,
suppressing and depressing
things that do their damnedest
every day to bring us down.
Deep breaths, good reads,
accomplish task and take a break,
belly laugh, power nap,
grin into the mirror at a woman
who is loved, the certainty that says
no matter what she has to face today,
there's that that will not change.
A world in flux, with fluid matters all around
when what she wants is solid,
rock-hard knowledge of her worth and value.
Check that box. Her inner core is flaming,
but it's resolute and unrelenting, straining
to break bonds and burn away the chaff
of all that hinders and constricts,
volcanic urge that has to wait because
she's mellowed out this morning.

Helping grandson with his homework yesterday, we looked at states of matter. I guess the imagery of solids, liquids, and gasses lodged somewhere in my subconscious.
