This was a fun one. Our bodies are amazing healing creatures. In my fifth decade inhabiting this vessel, a rose hip metaphor came up. Rose hips come after bloom and propagate new plants. Day 20 of NaPoWriMo.
Body Faith
I am not delicate
A flower, maybe not in bloom,
a rose hip
strong
making seed for future generations.
Faith in my body
my castle
Daily stretches
Morning breaths
Breaking adhesions
Expanding lungs
Expanding mind
Garden food
Supple veins
Busy hands
Joyful thoughts.
