Gratitude~ 'yoga nidre'

without analysis
you shine clear as the sun
felt in the center of my chest

bodily felt, emotionally rich
all people places and things
that hold joy, truth, strength

a coin dropped in a pond
creating  ripples of joy
positiveness multiplied

love felt in all the pores
of this infinitely mysterious
body mind compendium

the eureka moment on high
before boiling- the sacred
distilled truth triumphing

moonstones glistening
the informed moment of bliss
sun sets, moon rises

i ching perfectly choreographed
in yin yang swirls of green forest
high tide blue sky water

a glimpse of a deer nibbling
on an apple close to dusk
with redwings singing

smelling the resin of trees
while doing yoga
in the redwoods at dawn

a single yellow iris
by the green shallow pond
becoming herself
