Yoga Rhythms

Sometimes the chaos of the world invades and shells of home and skin are not enough. And we must find a safety deep inside within the rhythm of the breath. Move with intention like a tree supple in the breeze stanchions strong on nimble limbs mantra’s giving geas. Stimulate the nascent soul with balance. Still the whirling top of mind. Extend each tendriled thought within gaining harmony in exhale, within the rhythm of the breath. Clean, purge, polish, shine The sluggish blood, the worrisome nerve The jewel faceted form we’re given mind, body and spirit serve.

I guess my form is verse. I believe free verse doesn't contain rhyming. ( I didn't know any other way to respond to your comment)

wow good poem. Keep it up you're really good. Also my poem about the road's end was about reaching the end of your life and the results your actions had. :)

I am a complete novice on this subject. Good one, Deb. Thanks for telling me about 'First Kiss' It appears just fine when I view it, but something strange is going on as someone else told me the same thing. Anyhow, I have altered the sentence structure and hopefully that will fix it. Thanks for alerting me. Lainie

Love this write, Debbie! I've done and loved meditation, but have never followed a yoga class. Today my arm got scratched by my mouse pad. Not so exciting?:) It's Canadian Aboriginal...I just did a quick seach to find the artist, Joe Wilson. The Thunderbird clutching a whale. Okay, I'm off track. I enjoy the "clean, purge, polish, shine", of this write! Thank you for sharing! Best to you, Mikki

See, I told her that you would come up with an awesome entry. YOU go, DEBS (but I fear no competition on this one, I am simply not doing it. hahaha)
