tonight
for the first time in a long, long time
i’m moving my body
for the sole purpose
of nourishing it
i’m walking
because i love it too much
i need to let it know
i’m running
because i feel too alive
i need to move
i’m sweating
out all those scary memories
of my past
and i’m showering my way
to my new future

i respect my body
so much
that i don’t feel any urge
to change the way it looks
anymore

i trust it so much
that i can feel
how all its cells
are falling into sync
i can hear and sense
the song of coherence
in this revived body of mine

i am a universe of love
a galaxy of gratitude
a sea of trust
tonight
