Grounded

Reach up,

stretch high,

unroll spine to sky.

Bow,

recall how small 

we are humility.

Grasp the earth,

say thanks 

for precious life.

Step back, 

press feet,

try to feel 

the ground beneath.

fingers spread,

strength through spine -

message highway 

unwinds.

Roll forward,

feel I am 

an ocean wave 

flow to crest

and face 

suns heat.

Step forward,

rise again,

a tree

rooting deep,

branches reach 

in gentle breeze.

Hands to prayer,

thank Jah 

I’m here. 

Repeat.
