Soak

Soft water gels over your body,

soothing your skin

washing troubles away

you look out to the city and ponder…

What is everyone else doing? I soak here

relaxed

what troubles are they going through? 

do I care? Am I supposed to care?

I think not

it soothes my skin, this water

just what I needed

I can see my reflection 

almost better than a mirror

it’s wavy 

just like life

there are no straight lines.

  1. You do a good job of being in the moment and being aloof from the moment at the same time. Taking a bath is a good metaphor for this. As you come back to the moment you show that there is more going on here.
