There was sunshine and flurry;
When she stepped out of the house,
But, rains put her life in a hurry
She ran to reach her spouse.
As she walked across a cafe,
Old memories were re-visited
Her exquisite feelings went astray
A small and easy life she coveted.
Like a queen she walked in
Tossing back her flowing hair
She was ready to indulge in a sin
Of coffee-addiction without a care!
For once she wanted to forget
That she had children to fend for
Chores to-be-done with sweat,
And her in-law's standing order.

If for just an afternoon she could escape, and simple be. Bravo, touching realness in your words.
Good for her.. a few hours at a cafe.. is such a great escape.
@Karen S. Yeah, there is no absolute escape.
@brudberg. True.
For her, the coffee shop is a liminal zone ...
Ah, those in-laws... Well done.
@Kutamun. Yes. Thanks for reading.

An escape like that would be so much awaited :-)
