Savasana

Toes and Tracks

This final pose is what I’m waiting for.
The stillness I can give, I can receive.
A song to oceans takes me to their shores
Where waves of freedom soothe me to believe.
While reason’s tracks and shadows yearn for more
The heart will tell me what I should achieve.
Today is one more opportunity
To breathe in gifts the winds bring from the sea.

  3. Each line is a gift to read Frank ~ May we find that stillness to give and receive. And finally:

    To breathe in gifts the winds bring from the sea.

    1. Thanks, Grace! That last pose in a yoga practice is quite restful after an hour of more difficult movements. This one you just lay on your back.

  8. A beautiful poem Frank and thank you for sharing the lovely video and song by Miten and Deva Primal. I have some of their CD’s and had not heard this one before 💜 ‘To breathe in gifts the winds bring from the sea’ is such a wonderful line ☺

    1. Thank you! I like this one as well. I was thinking about such a poem for a few weeks and then tried to make the “gift” prompt work with it.

  20. Tremendous poem & gift–excellent control of the form as well–good on you for working a clever message into it. I, too, answer the ocean’s siren song

  26. This poem is absolutely beautiful Frank. I especially savour this:
    While reason’s tracks and shadows yearn for more
The heart will tell me what I should achieve.
