Body of Mine

Something we overlook,
Our bodies,
Something we ignore,
Our bodies,
Something we use,
Sometimes even abuse,
Because we are ashamed,
So we blame, shame,
Ourselves within these bodies...
Something we take for granted,
Sometimes even forget,
To honor, respect, love,
Is  our Bodies.
Somehow even though OUR body
Is our transportation,
We forget to be dedicated,
To its Honor,
To its Respect,
To its Love,
Our sacred, 
Our beauty,
Fascinating wonder,
To care, to tend to.
We displace it,
We displace ourselves
So far outside, leaning and grinding
At the wheel of keeping up all activities,
And engagements,
That we misuse, 
Ourselves and get mad at the world,
and/or ourselves,
Instead of being dedicated and devoted..
I love my body,
For it holds my mind, my heart and this soul,
All that power, fuel, motivations,
Contained in this beautiful Body,
I have and I am to
Be captivated by,
Be empowered by and with,
Have affection for,
Have respect for,
Have truth, trust for,
Think the world of,
Thrive with,
Inquire into,
With perseverance,
With resilience,
With admiration,
With recognition,
With whole acceptance,
With authenticity,
Worthwhile!
I love me, myself, and I,
Wholly, truly, majestically,
Thoroughly through,
There’s beauty in my every flaw,
Scar, freckle, tear drop, I have went through,
Went into, traveled through, paved,
Built, created, all here with all my years
This far, within this body, this life,
We have lived, 
Dear Body,
I love you,
Thank you,
I am sorry for not listening
To all those signals,
Please forgive me,
As I learn more each moment,
On how we care for one another,
I will celebrate us more often,
With care, with joy, with our combined 
Strength… I love you, I love us, 
Thank you for having me,
Thank you for being so good to me,
Thank you, 100 times fold,
For all we have overcome together,
We got this!
I’ve got you,
You’ve got me,
Together and everyday
We live, we shall rise together,
More beautiful and more magnificent
Each moment, each day, each month,
Each building and expanding year…
I love you-
Self delving into self,
Ever evolving together..
-Body speaking to mind, heart and soul!

We are amazing beautiful wholly, entirely,
Infinitely, yes we are, each of us are no matter
If we are naked, clothed or have make up on,
We are organically, imperfectly perfectly,
Ravishing!
