I Breathe

Naked feet pad into the warm and darkened room

Silent
Moving
I breathe

Folded legs rest under my body in angles

Silent
Still
I breathe

Palms touch.
Heart beats.
Mind races, then quiets.

Silent
Still
I breathe

Stand up.
Take space.
Legs firm and rooted.
Heart beats.

Silent
Still
I breathe

Arms lift to reach beyond.
No grasp, just feeling

Silent
Moving
I breathe

Bend and twist, seeking feeling
Thinking
Not thinking
Being

Silent
Moving
I breathe

Body warm and supple, muscles tense and soften
Heart beats
Mind quiets

Silent
Moving
I breathe

Lie down rest and absorb it all
No more to do but be

Silent
Still
and breathe
