The Oyster Pose Poem

Here for our Poetry Challenge is an original from Sherrod:

Oyster is my favorite pose –
like its namesake bivalve
I curl in on myself –
forehead cradled by feet –
then shut out the world and filter my thoughts…

[Moderator’s Note: The writer’s above described experience is based on the introversion of mind – i.e. a meditation. True to the yogic approach, such experiences can be had even when done in a roomful of people as shown below. That is part of the beauty of yoga – the mind can be withdrawn to a point of inner stillness regardless of the external circumstances.]
