When people talk about God, whom do they speak of? Is it someone in the sky, or the sky itself? In the wild world where divinity is near, I can ask the purple mountains and the pink sky at dawn; the open clouds and their storms at night: If the air is medication and the rain is purification and the only way I know myself is to be here, to feel, Then aren’t you the one who heals? The wind says nothing puts its hands in my hair, shaking my wonder into waiting, saying: It is not my truth to bear. . . . . #posesandpoems challenge day 7 Prompt: Yogi’s choice Pose: Anything! . . .

My body is rooted and still But this mind, it wanders at will the hardwood floors are inviting in and even the door knows where I’ve been another house, another mile nothing to do but stay awhile the rocking chairs sigh in the breeze the icy creek ushers its body with ease the glass-like clink of backgammon chips, and zipping up for another trip into the woods, over the old stone wall no one else in the world at all Beneath thousands of leaves on hundreds of trees, no one to see, but you and me. . . . . #posesandpoems challenge day 5 prompt✏️: Write a poem that describes a favorite place Pose: Any grounding pose Hosts: @yoga_and_other_adventures @brooke_being @mrs_khaleesi_gaither @this_dog_is_down @emmy_does_yoga Sponsors: @luxajewelry @mantisyoga @mayyouknowjoy @ajnawellbeing @l.e.bowman.poetry @vayumudra .

Like smoke curling from coals I am roving and ever-upward, tethered to all that smolders: the heat of my heart the glimmer of my purpose and the orb of my ambition, ablaze. . . . . #posesandpoems challenge day 4 prompt✏️: Write a poem that describes yourself using a simile Pose: Any symmetrical pose Hosts: @yoga_and_other_adventures @brooke_being @mrs_khaleesi_gaither @this_dog_is_down @emmy_does_yoga Sponsors: @luxajewelry @mantisyoga @mayyouknowjoy @ajnawellbeing @l.e.bowman.poetry @vayumudra .

Love is not made of matter or mass though we search, weary and wanting, hunting for a clue that it is real. Instead it is like lava moving and molten too torrid to touch too alluring to abandon. It is the fuel catapulting the jet into the clouds and also the subway car, jammed and jolting away. It Is you, on the platform, empty-handed. It is the anchor, barnacled and tarnished, and the ship from which it is tossed, but most of all, it is the hands which pull the ropes and release the sails to float, going nowhere, But into the horizon at dawn. . . #posesandpoems challenge day 3 prompt✏️: Write a poem that starts with “love is...” Pose: Any heart opener Hosts: @yoga_and_other_adventures @brooke_being @mrs_khaleesi_gaither @this_dog_is_down @emmy_does_yoga Sponsors: @luxajewelry @mantisyoga @mayyouknowjoy @ajnawellbeing @l.e.bowman.poetry @vayumudra .

With only the moon as my witness, I step backwards into myself. I drive a long road I once knew, looking out over fields and rivers and trees, straddling the space between what was and what will be. All the things I thought were real about life and love could fill a house back then, boxes of certainty stacked to the rafters. Today, the house is empty. Ignited by truth and time, my convictions are ash on the floorboards. Outside the window when the wind picks up I wonder where to go from here. Of all the things I want to do, I long most to be emptied, Where history, an enigma, cannot haunt. Instead I do the opposite of what I want the antithesis of easy the thing I’ve always done: I walk into the flame. . . . . #posesandpoems ✏️✨challenge day 2 prompt: Start your writing with “with only the moon as my witness.” Pose: Any arm balance Hosts: @yoga_and_other_adventures @brooke_being @mrs_khaleesi_gaither @this_dog_is_down @emmy_does_yoga Sponsors: @luxajewelry @mantisyoga @mayyouknowjoy @ajnawellbeing @l.e.bowman.poetry @vayumudra . . . . #writepoetry #poetstribe #soulpoetry #yogaismagic #eightanglepose #writeyourheartout #poetsoﬁg #speakyourheart #writerstag #writingtherapy #writingismyfreedom #workyourlight #armbalances
