Ahimsa

Beautiful word, re-vision.

If one conjures root from total unknowing, if one
loves movements of body but does not know body, what
does one know?

The pose of sweetest dignity compels.
The humble movement changes everything.

The tear, perspiration's ounce, transform our
prolonged sentence to more than all-desirable.

The shade opens on this miraculous morning.

Every step, every misstep, corrected, calculated,
especially ones never left to thought, teach what
deep-down everyone must know.
