My Body, Me [teddi]

I walk. I run. I dance. I leap.
My body, me.

I sleep. I cry. I laugh. I express.
My body, me.

I taste. Fruit, water, spices, sweets.
My body, me.

I see. Family, friends, faces, pages of poetry.
My body, me.

I breathe. Steady, thoughtless, continuous breaths.
My body, me.

I hear. Music, conversations, voices, laughter.
My body, me.

I touch. Holding, soothing, digging, gripping.
My body, me.

I feel. Warmth of sun, touch of hand, snow on head.
My body, me.

I am not plagued with pain. At ease. Comfortable.
My body, me.

I move. On a bike, a walk, in a jog, a swim.
My body, me.

Skin. Muscles, Bones. Cells.
Life giving. Life enhancing.
Life enabling. Life moving.
My body, me.

Not a place of hatred.
Not a harborer of curses.
Free. Grateful. Healthy. Strong.
My body, me.

Thankful for a frame which:
Sustains, feels, gives, perseveres, creates, heals.
My body, me.
