I’m gonna start today
my body needs me to
Little steps. Little steps
Ease in just so and slow
Images of languid stretches
down to the Earth up to the heavens
A prayer, a meditation,
a gentle I forget to give myself
Re-story the limitations I gave
They give no goodness
Give back strength to this body
To thrive in wholeness
All of me needs to embrace
All of me
Give to the pain what it needs
Loving gentleness in movement
Move this old girl.
Stretch her out
make her strong again
I’m gonna start today.
