As I begin to stretch I feel my body elongate I imagine myself a swan Staying aware of my breathing I breathe in as I spread my legs Holding them straight 4 ft apart I breath out as I reach over my head Clasping my fingers together As I assume different yoga poses I feel calmness permeate all of me I close my eyes and hold my stance My mind lifts to higher thoughts In mountain position still and silent I commune with the greater good Discerning visions of fertile fields Where dreams are first birthed I go into relaxed position to meditate Soon I'm walking among those fields Inhaling the beauty of Creator's dream Exhaling to allow His dream to become me
It is I who needs to be thanking you this afternoon, what a beautiful stretch of the mind and imagination you've presented us with! An exercise in class, this lovely little poem. So, thank you. Saving this one.
This is an awesome poem Eileen! I subscribe to the
power of breath and what an idea! Exhaling the Creators
dream to become me. Love that line. An excellent piece!
It is always good to think on those things that are good and lovely, those things that bring life and understanding, and those things, when shared with others, enlighten, provoke, inspire, and challenge!
Soothing and stimulating, all at once. Yoga obviously works!

Your morning ritual is good for all of us to follow. When we are in touch within...we get in touch without and our passions become more astute.
Love this beautiful poem.

I wish I could do this yoga thing, even bought dvds but I am totally unable to relax or stretch, and I know that it's a beautiful experience - I feel problematic - maybe it's just me, I loved the last two lines of your poem, you're lucky!
(by the way what does namaste mean? because in Greek it's an expression that means "here we are!"

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
Contraband Marriage, traveling along the hemline of loving after incarceration, is a love story written in lyric and free form, set in reality with a different ever after.
Questions, unquestioned discoveries, and answers in parable and rhyme…. This collection records a journey starting with a 1960s retrospective and the first man on the moon, moving to a new millennium welcomed in with a terrorist spin, family crises,
