blood
bone
The lines in these hands
worn
The ache in this spine
weary
The sparkle in these eyes
bright
The beat in this chest
comforting
The warmth of his arms
soothing
The message in her smile
welcoming
The tiny factories
in our bodies
replicating
splitting
Building blocks of life
The flood of red
just below
mocha skin
These muscles
Strong
yet overworked
strained
Bones hardened
by life
Balance of flexibility
and strength
The network
of neurons
speed
of impulse
dashing from
brain to fingertips
as I write this
The potential of action
Isn't that what we are
We are all sensory
and adaptation
Complicated machinery
manufactured by
the divinity of evolution
Au natural
Magnificent creatures
blind to our own beauty
our own strengths
our own design
A structure created
for movement
we've stilled
While minds are still wild
and racing
Mana runs through
our veins
Soaks each breath
Qi flows in our
movements
Collections of heavenly bodies
Celestial
Stardust
We are a collection
of the gods we pray to
As fragile
as we are resilient
We can bend
until broken
But those breaks
heal
Although some things
do not heal
Some ailments
left uncured
We fear our darkest moments
Only understanding then
the gift we are
and standing at the edge
of the unknown
is unsettling
Born from mother earth
it is to her that we return
our final breaths
eventually giving new life
Continuous cycle of change
growth
birth
death
transformation
transition
Yin
Yang
Flesh
blood
bone
The simplicity
of this wondrous
human body
Flesh
blood
bone
The simplicity
of this wondrous
human body
