My Yoga

My Yoga means to me
what the blue sky means to you.
It's always there,
it never goes away.
Sometimes I'm too busy to look up
but there's no need
for I know it is there.
When my body, mind and soul combine
to practice a downward-facing dog
I have no words to describe my gratitude.
At days it is truly all I have
but that's fine
because I know it won't let me down.
My mat is my safe place to exist;
it doesn't care whether I'm a mess that day
it is there, just waiting for me to hop on
and feel good again.
this is a poem for you, my dear.
For you, the untouchable Yoga
& for you, my selfless mat and friend.
