Body tingles with anticipation
Rising of the Sun…
God
The water blessings soon come
gathering the things needed
Rust coloured towel from the chair
Toothbrush in the cup
over there...
On goes the hot faucet and let it run
It’s own song sound loud
Earthy steam...
fills the bathroom
just a touch of cold
Just right
feet into the bath with much delight
My nudity heaven knows its vulnerability
From the top of my head, the water flows
Tickles my skin playfully
caressing, cleansing, blessing me
My baptism
Ritually
The woven netted plastic cloth
catches the liquid soap
They gel well
I rub, scrub, exfoliate
welcoming in a new day
Activate!
Turn off the hot tap
Opposites attract
Prepping my mind
An intense feeling
this cold water...
Invigoratingly Healing!
