Rhythm

I am pleased to participate in another drawing (artistic) challenge.  Since I don't draw  very well these dear artists let me draw with my words.  Veronica threw down this challenge - Rhythm. Go to her blog to check out the other entrants.  They are all incredible artists in every sense of the word.

Rhythm

The Rhythm of my breath
as I lie in Shavasana
as I mimic the dead
a breathing corpse.

The Rhythm of your breath
as you sleep beside me
my fear that I will awake
and the rhythm will no longer be there.

The Rhythm of my strokes
as I swim for my life
as I kick in rhythm
to the beating of my heart.

The Rhythm of the rain
drumming on the roof
of a camper that shields me
from the storms outside.

The Rhythm of the music
resounding in my heart
the songs you once sang for me
echoing in the silence.

The Rhythm of my walk
through the cedars and the ferns
reminding me of this journey
I will see through to the end.

  8. That's lovely! I'm right there beside you from breathing in Shavasana to the fern and damp moss forest. It's been a bit difficult for me to still my mind lately, and especially when I'm in Shavasana. Clearly I don't have my rhythm yet, but I'll think of the fern forest at class tomorrow.

    my fear that I will awake
    and the rhythm will no longer be there.

    This resonated with me.
