Hips mournfully spread,
parting on the mat,
experiencing things I repressed
like the night he kidnapped
my innocence,
hijacked my soul,
doused my hopes
until I promised
not to scream,
not to say a word.
Trauma teacher, yoga therapist,
I’ve stored secrets in my hips
that I thought were forgotten.
With one gentle pose,
you’ve uncovered them,
sad and painful truths
for you to cradle,
to heal the hurts,
soothe the wounds,
and return the trust
I thought was lost.

Yes, our bodies hide so many secrets. Secrets we forget until something or someone reminds us…
Then we remember…
Yes, body memories.
Wonderfully melancholy!
Thank you, Malcolm.
I had to get the oil can out a few years ago. I’m up to using five (5) drops a day on my hips. Fingers only need three (3) drops a day.
See whe you have to look forward too! Those twitches let you know you are alive! 😎
Exactly, Hope!!!
Amazing what secrets the body holds. I could so relate.
It truly is. 🙂🙏🏻
Wow, the power of our bodies to store such secrets. The power of our bodies to heal. Magnificent writing.
Thank you.
Ah yes, those hurts we hide. Give them over to the One who can heal. I pray that you can find that for yourself, dearest Mark. Release the pain those poses. May peace be with you always!
Peace to you and hope all is well.
