mantra







like gravity, the gentle refrain
pulled her to the center
of her heart opening
where love and humility dwell

[This micro-poem is loosely written for The Sunday Whirl, where I only used three of the thirteen words. The words were: humility, trigger, swells, relishes, flicks, crack, grittle, chain, spray, gravity, plant, claim, refrain]                                                                                                        Image found via Google Images.

This is one of those poems where it pays to get in early, before everyone has commented! I agree with the sentiments and add that the movement involved for us as readers, matches the breathing in and out, because of the words you chose and the imagery formed.
