In this position
Head down, ass up
Heels reaching for the floor
Hands grounded
Bent at the waist
Breathing in
Breathing out
In this position
Blood rushing to my head
Feeling the solid earth
Flexing with the strength of my body
Hearing the life breath around me
Trusting
Believing
Even for just an hour that the world is good.
This poem is in response to Patrick’s Pic and a Word Challenge #162 – Bend (I’m on a streak!). I love the photo Patrick used and his words about how the bends in the road/river/life can obscure the end, but how you have to keep on going. This speaks to my life right now as it is in a “bend”: I just have to keep on going to see where it will lead me! The “bend” can be exciting yet nerve-racking….or peaceful, centering and power-giving – if one can just relax into the pose.
