Our love is smooth as porcelain
The surface where we dance
With hardly a rise, imperfection, or chip
Frictionless, we glide
***
Microscopy magnifies our strata
X-rays penetrate our surface
Explorations of details
Continue revealing ceramic smooth sheets
***
Our veneer is beautiful
But the structure is delicate
We can break at some point
Stress countervails strength
***
The deeper we love
The more layers we see
To reassure us until
Irregularities appear
***
Strength determined by how deep
Before the terrain gets bumpy
Love, strong, all the way down
Smooth layers until
***
Loves, unbreakable, are those deep indeed
Before the going gets rough
At the atomic scales where potholes
Are just the small things
***
Shelves are made to stack our plates
And what we have on them
The imperfections, the small things met,
We don't sweat, all the way to china

Do You have a Support Network?
Life is harder when you’re on your own. Human beings are social creatures, and we usually feel better when we have support from a strong social network around us. For most people, it’s our families that hold us together like glue.
