ALS NaPoWriMo Day 26 Prompt: “My body is a temple.”
I am using the following quote of Oprah Winfrey in my poem:
“I finally realized that being grateful to my body was key to giving more love to myself.”
Poem: The Temple of My Body
“I finally realized that being grateful to my body,
was key to giving more love to myself.”
The body that’s divine, and a whole in itself,
The body that I have been kindly blessed
—
The body that I have been kindly blessed,
To witness the life flowing through me,
To have immortal experiences of this mortal being,
To listen and embrace the nature speak
—
To listen and embrace the nature speak,
The unfolding of the Universal mystique,
To immerse itself in the vast expanse,
Yet retain its balance and be unique
—
To retain its balance and be unique,
With the perfect symmetry of the five senses,
Endowed with everything that this life needs,
This body is a temple with many deities
—
This body is a temple with many deities,
A mind to think and comprehend everything,
A heart to feel, care and heal,
A soul that grows through experiences
—
A soul that grows through experiences,
Experiences that are etched in the mind’s memory,
Mind that is guarded by this frame divine,
Grateful I am for this humble offering
