The Poetry of Our Bodies

The poetry of the human body appears most vividly in a woman expecting a child, when every heartbeat and breath becomes a line in a larger, living verse. In the quiet darkness of the womb, cells divide, organs take shape, and a new nervous system spreads like roots reaching for fertile ground.

Complexity and beauty are present in every moment of development. Electrical signals begin to shimmer through the forming nervous system, guiding growth and sensation. Bones strengthen, muscles awaken, and the child’s body learns the silent language of movement long before birth.
