Flow
We started on our knees
our entire upper body
supported on shins
inhaling the weight of
this world through noses
exhaling its pain with
hmmm out our mouths
balancing bodies on one legged
and cross legged stands
holding whole bodies in the air
with only the strength of elbows
pressed into triceps
the darkness of this world
the cogent words of the yogi
brought salty tears
to flow from my eyes
Today and tomorrow
I set kindness as my intention

This is a lovely poem that will stick with me for a long time. I felt it deep in my soul.
Thank you Deanna.
