Breathe

source

Naked morning light
weaves a seamless blanket
Thoughts depart
like a passing breeze
I float,
a sylph
no longer tethered
to ground
Breathe in
Breathe out

Off Balance

There's a goal I can't achieve

It's become a true pet peeve

I find I don't have the talents

For asanas that take balance.

My Tree pose starts out standing tall

Then I start to sway and fall

My Tree must be in a storm

Oh what bad, sad yoga form!

When my Eagle tries to soar

I only end up on the floor

I really do give it my best

This Eagle should stay in the nest!

I know Dancer should be graceful

But I wind up with a face full

Of my dirty yoga mat

When my Dancer's pose goes splat!

Some day this goal I hope to meet

Get through a practice on my feet

Complete a balancing asana
Would be true yogic nirvana!
