Letter To My Belly

Dear Belly,

I want to say a few words
and sing your praises.
You play second fiddle
to your neighbour, the heart.
It gets all the glory -
it holds associations
to love, compassion, spirit.
Few talk about you
and fewer know your treasures.

When your knot unravels,
like the spiral of a galaxy,
or the opening of a flower,
you're a sphere of wonderous bliss.
Moreover you're a seat
of profound wisdom.
I look to you for advice,
your words are the wisest.


When your place softens,
you become a doorway
to love and compassion,
and you change the way
I view the world.
Just like your neighbour,
you're a host to deep feeling.

You're also a place
where tension collects,
of deep fears of survival,
or a focus of will,
and when this is released,
you are the source of
unspeakable relief.

When your realm opens,
the heart follows suit,
thanks to hidden nadis
that tie you together.

You're a spirit power
with great hidden secrets
and it fills me with joy
to introduce you to my dance ..
