creating a space in our bodies

creating space in our bodies
lengthening from the crown
to the tail
opening to the air
around us
within us
lifting out from packed joints
to float
and fold
lengthen
and twist
laugh
and fly

creating space in our lives
lengthening from the tip of the
morning
to the tail of the night
opening to the stillness waiting
all around us
within us
lifting out from packed schedules
to be
and behold
strengthen
and lift
the laughing light
in your flying eyes
