The Stillness Between the Sets

Poetry by Sabrina

The Stillness Between the Sets

I make my way past the set

my heart is beating fast and my breath is shallow

thankful for the practice of yoga that has taught me what I now know

i sit up on my board, close my eyes, take a slow deep breath in and a longer breath out

a simple reminder that this moment is one I cannot go without

i begin to drop into the beauty that surrounds

with the realization that nature’s love knows no bounds

the sun rays kiss my already warm-flushed face

while the cool, glassy water beneath me sways at its own gentle pace

like a dance, she moves me with her from side to side

i smile softly feeling her rising tide

my fingers graze her delicate surface

yet her depth is so vast and profound, it has me meditate on her whole meaning and purpose

then circulating through my whole Qi 

runs a quote from Vedic literature when God says,

‘Of all the bodies of water, I am the Sea’
