yoga*

the balance
the even-ess
all alligned
right in a row
breathing
in and out
smooth-ness
low from one
to another
it is my mind and body
of which i am aware

salutations my friend
from me to you
colorful images
come into my brain
as i shift from one
to the next
to the next, again

the movements feel
easier over time
as i explore the range
with which i can go
how far will this take me
will it last
can i make it work
to take me into the future
