Repose:
a hush upon the breath of time,
where weary thoughts dissolve like mist
and silence cradles the soul in velvet arms—
a stillness not of absence, but of grace,
where the heart forgets to ache,
and the world, for a moment,
remembers how to be gentle.
Affirmation of Repose
I speak the stillness into form,
A vow beneath the quiet storm—
Where breath is soft, and time forgets
To race, to ache, to place regrets.
I claim the hush between each thought,
The peace the rushing world forgot.
This moment—mine, in calm’s embrace,
A temple built in open space.
I do not chase the rising sun,
Nor beg the stars for what’s to come.
I trust the moon to wax and wane,
And rest in rhythm, not in strain.
The world may turn, the winds may blow,
But I am rooted deep below.
A tree that leans to sip the light,
Yet sleeps unshaken through the night.
In stillness, I am not less strong.
Repose, the pause that rights the wrong.
I gather strength in being still—
I am enough, and always will.
— So let me breathe, release, restore,
I am the quiet I was longing for.

Repose is the state of rest, sleep or tranquility. There is always a time to rest because it is one of the first things the Lord taught us. After working six days, He rested. We need to take his example and build it into our routines.
Finally, we are reminded in Hebrews 12:1 to run our races with perseverance. We will win. We will be victorious. Ida B Wells did not give up the fight. She had to change locations, but she kept on fighting. We won because of her.
