I took a deep breath
as if for the first time
I felt my body in a new way
As if on a walk down a path
The trail head was my crown
The fork in the road, my feet
I took a deep breath
as if for the first time
And partnered with
The tension in my crown
my neck, my shoulders, my chest
The compression in my sacral and my hips
The tightness in my legs
The gentleness in my feet, holding it all
My body spoke to me. It said
I have been with you carrying you, holding you, absorbing the feeling, giving you signs
Partnering with you
I love you
I took a deep breath as if for the first time
I felt into my body as if for the first time
I got dressed for comfort
Did not put a bra on
Put my scale in the closet on a shelf
My body, my spirit, my soul, as if for the first time
Sat in the sun
Smiling.
