Literature Text

Good luck,
the end of
an evening spent
in stretching the body
as far as it will go,

helping the fragile willow
find a strength
in its branches
that will weather the
highest of storms,

a greeting to a being
that might be holy,
though bound
to the far from celestial
weary resilience
of earth-bound creatures,

speaking to an avatar
of some
terrestrial divinity –

really, it's our version
of 'may the Force be with you'.
* may or may not have spent most of last night listening to Star Wars scores*
Today's prompt is, not surprisingly, the title. Also, yes, I do yoga.

HA -- the Star Wars reference really gets you at the end.  Such a great contrast to the rest of the piece, which is truly lovely.  I love how you opened it with "Good luck"; it piques our curiosity right away.  You are a very talented poet!  Looking forward to seeing more from you!  :highfive:
