Necessity
_____________________________________
Yoga is so gentle
Deceiving
The body, challenging the mind
Much of it is mental
Believing
In the strength and calm to find
*
Holding poses for days
Centering
Shoulders with hips, brain with the heart
Gently resisting sways
Entering
A place where fitness melds with art
*
Muscles, mind, and spirit
Strengthening
Quiet peace overtakes unrest
Learning not to fear it
Lengthening
Spine, being kind, opening chest.
