Finding My Own True Self

the sound of all thought
encumbered by self
escapes to freedom
unchained and released
with pranayama

in harmony
each cell listens
still-life poses
in hushed repose

asana
deep waves of
tidal breaths

centered
I am....

found

carrie, i love the way you carried it off, using a form that diminishes. Ending with Found. You are brilliant. I sure would place this one very high!
