inner child, sit down
listen to the elder
we want to become:

a body made strong
movement by movement
through years of conscious
worship of this miracle temple
loaned to our soul

a mind ever bolder
movement by movement
freer to fly as compelled
by songs who want to be born
humming at the door of our heart

a heart, a shining heart
chief among adornments
this clear beacon for all
my relations, declaring
here is your hope

and for as long as this
body, mind and heart
keep soul, let it burl
pungent, full reverent
invited to love.
