Soak

Soaking away the worries
washing away the tears
leaving behind the hurries
drowning all my fears.
Hot water calming
candlelight fills the room
underwater sounding
comforting like a womb.
Meditation finds me
unsteady feelings relax away
peaceful, calm and free
praying for ease to stay.
Naked, raw and real
it is a moment of truth
sacred space to heal
all the pain of my youth.
