the poise with which to hold yourself
and the wide laughter opens up
in your chest
and the whole day rushes in
with each breath,
vistas and light gifts
making you happy
You will do what you can
to hold onto it.
If you lose it, you’ll keep trying
to find it again
and you will,
for it belongs to you
more than years and years
of constricted habits.
It is your right
to move in all your power,
it is your nature
to own your day.
