Calm
Inhale the clouds
Exhale the dust
Count the stars on the back of your eyelids
Calm
Trace the outlines of your memories
Dance among those precious,
Vague shapes
Smile
Stretch and move your flexible spine
Strong
Remember the time
You stood up in fear and trembling
Armed with audacious
Hope
Put your hand on your hip –
Still carrying the arrows you shot at yourself
The Goliath of your life
Doubt
We are made with amazing love
For amazing things
Wonder at your inheritance
Dust
Now exhale and face
Today
