Rituals
On my back on the mat in corpse pose
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out
Raise my arms over my head and point my toes
And s t r e t c h
Breathe in, breathe out
Bend my knees into my chest and rock
Back and forth
Back and forth
On my lower back
Breathe in, breathe out
In this place, I relax
In this place, I am me

Ode to April’s Rainy Days
Days and days of rain
Falling continuously
Being constantly
In view
Grey clouds blanket the sky from morning to morning
Hours and hours of showers
Behaving childishly
Growing exponentially
Over meadows
Blue peaks through to provide a moment of joy
Minutes and seconds of droplets
Enclosing gracefully
Fulfilling religiously
Springs’ renewal
April showers bring
everything to life
