I and my Body

I never learned To feel this moment right now I never learned To take the time to know how But I'm here And all that I see Is here Always running A mad dash towards my mind Never wanting To face whatever I may find But I'm here And all that there is Is here I feel it rising and falling like the summer sun The first time that I felt it, a new life had just begun I and my body are one Too scared to feel My mind runs laps around my bones Is it real My body's turn to bear the load But I'm here And all that I feel Is here My lungs inflate My chest and stomach tell me so My whole world waits As I begin to trust the flow I'm here All that I am Is here I feel it rising and falling like the summer sun The first time I felt it, a new life had just begun I and my body are one Just as the earth doesn't run from her mountains I will not fear my own bones Step into my skin And be whole from within Safe in my home Just as the earth doesn't run from her mountains I will not fear my own bones Step into my skin And be whole from within Safe in my home I feel it rising and falling like the summer sun The first time I felt it, a new life had just begun I and my body are one I feel it rising and falling like the summer sun The first time I felt it, a new life had just begun I and my body are one
