This Body

At the end of the day

when the house is quiet,

and the sun is setting

At the end of the day

when the others have left,

and the calm arrives,

I find home.

I have a home here

in this body,

Precious—

Steadfast—

A space where I can be.

A space where pain and beauty meet effortlessly,

where healing tells my story,

where my power is.

What a gift,

being at home in my own body.

What a path that led me here.
