Discharge: Volcanic Event

Thursday, already, oh!
What a frustrating week,
Having trouble getting going
Due to plunging energy;

If only the weather would co-operate
And settle down a little,
Maybe the headaches would stop,
The pain skid addle

And the mood swings as well,
Recurrent blistering anger,
Incessant rumination
And loss of temper;

Meditation practice
Consisting mostly of metta,
Trying to bring kindness
To the palaver,

Slow breathing and stretching,
Bringing body and mind together,
Exercising and resting
And patience applying;

Faster than expected
Evening arrived,
Working into the night
Attempting to catch up,

Ate so late
Was almost Friday,
Only a light meal
As little time for otherwise,

And when bedtime at last,
‘Twas well into the wee hours,
Too soon comes the dawn,
And tasks undone still without number.
