Kokyu-Ho Nage

Sometimes it feels like my whole world
Is clinging to me
Holding me still.

The trick at such times is to keep moving at a measured pace, not too fast or slow.
Relax and
Remember to breathe in
And out.

Let yourself bend — it’s okay.
If you truly mean no harm
Your whole world will fall in behind you
Meek
And astonished.

And you might, then, feel a little breeze
Sending you on your way,
Quiet, and open, and free.
