Keep Moving

We flow, within liquid lives 

though air, through water 

moving, constant, vital, 

hearts pumping, synapses jumping, 

then moments of stillness, in balance, 

don't take wellness for granted, don't chance 

your mental welfare, this Yin and Yang, 

we move to connect

we stop to reflect 

from placid to frenetic 

potential to kinetic, 

the energy flows through you,

so gym, swim, run and scream, 

stretch your compacted frame, 

make yoga your scheme, 

stand at your desk, 

make a break from the past 

small changes begat big impacts 

reset the pattern to last, 

those mental chains that held us 

are of our own design, 

ignore them at your peril, 

they are harmful not benign, 

watch a toddler, they know the way

 to keep moving.
