Cascade

On days like today, I just want to let the shower to run...washing over me, with a hot, cleansing embrace.

I want to drown in the feeling of sanctuary as the water tumbles downward.  I do not know what beckons me here.  I just know the comfort I feel from the percussion of cascading water.

I let the water run until the heat no longer presents itself and my skin begins to tire.  A blanket of steam caresses the room in a cocoon of warmth.

It is only then when I feel restored...
