Magicians Of The Body

To L.S.H, K.M, D.L, A.S, A.F

 

Those who walk us through the motions

of coming alive again,

Teach us to breathe

in ways and places we never dreamt of,

open horizons, develop muscle,

tissue, blood, carrying more oxygen

we had until then carried

 

with constant heedful reminders

they bring us back to here, now

the body as it is and feels

have us contact the immediacy of our life

the beauty of one’s Vessel

carrier of the Soul,

 

Soul they were text messaging

the whole time, with their fingers

deft, like Morse, where less

is more.

  1. Upon reading this, so many images flashed through my mind. My initial thoughts took me back to those magicians who nursed me back to health when my body was fighting against death, then it jumped to past lovers and my husband of a time gone by, who, through their magic, stirred my Soul. My sons too, who have taught me so much, and who, through a sleight of hand, have brought me alive time and time again. This poem says it all and gives hope to those who cannot find the exit of the waiting room!……lovely Keren….x
