Physical Therapy

The nodding, grinning face of pain,
Approaches me,
I smile back with no restraint,
Accepting thee;

Bending, stretching, twisting, scraping,
Ancient tortures await,
Becoming, embracing, facing, erasing,
Making crooked, straight;

Gritted teeth make my smile,
Laughing away the agony,
Deep breaths are required,
Walking through unfathomable, nebulous, change;

I treasure this deep, priceless pain,
I run to it, embrace it, and welcome it in,
Knowing that doing so protects me,
From the debilitation of low exercise.
