Healthy Haiku 🎋
Sun warms the quiet floor
Body stretches, long and slow
Day begins in peace
Snap of carrot, bright
Earth provides exactly what
My cells need today
Strong but never stiff
Bending like the willow tree
I will not be broken
Work is done for now
Tea is warm within the cup
Rest is training too
Clear cool running stream
Hydrate the body deeply
Skin begins to glow
One foot then the next
Rhythmic beat upon the earth
Mind clears with the steps
Creamy green delight
Healthy fat to feed the brain
Nature’s butter, rich
Inhale deep and slow
Exhale worry from the chest
Moment of stillness
Heavy eyes close tight
Repairing the work of day
Dreams heal mind and soul
Gold light on my face
Vitamin from sky above
Warmth soaks in my skin
Reach for sky above
Muscles lengthen, tension goes
Pliable and strong
Chopping board sounds crisp
Colors bright upon the plate
Love is served warm now
Small steps every day
Building the house brick by brick
Future self says thanks
Savory and warm
Protein builds the body up
Strength for morning flow
Crunch of pepper red
Enzyme fire burning bright
Life force on the fork
Not just for today
But for years that are to come
Planting seeds of health
Thank you for this breath
Thank you for this beating heart
Thank you for this food
Cake on Sunday noon
Salad on the Monday plate
Joy is found in both
Spicy root of earth
Warmth inside the belly grows
Healing flow begins
Mat unrolled on floor
Pose held strong in silent room
Breath is anchor now
Steam rising up slow
Cup centered in both my hands
Sip of herbal calm
Sun dips low and red
World goes quiet for the night
Body finds its rest
Listen to the voice
That says you are doing well
Be kind to yourself
We move side by side
Separate paths but one goal
Wellness for us all
