Body Speak-

Here we are, my husband & I standing at the back entrance of the home of Emily Dickinson, in Amherst, Ma. We were up in the Berkshires this past weekend celebrating in the marriage of our dear friends', son & new daughter-in-law. It was an awesome event, of extended fam & friends, with blessings of health & happiness to Lindsey & Michael the bride & groom, which filled every heart & mind! The positive energy of the event on Saturday was so awesomely powerful, that we had the energy to find our way the very next day, to the home of our modest, yet great American poet, Emily.

Body Speak

I lift my arm

my shoulder too

at elbow's region's map

the arm extends a wrist it finds

a juncture too of fact

a thumb extends, and others reach

but not, to do it far

work within a body's speak

that's how one lifts this far

For aches and pains they come with time

from disproportioned use

and over, over, we do use

of this I know is truth

To use the body long and full

extend it through a life

does take good care, and pauses too

to balance out the strife
