Bubbles
come join me in the tub
as i bask in the warm
water with bubbles
cradling me from
head to foot
like a warm, soft blanket
in the winter time
humming to the music
in the background
watching the candles
flicker with an orangey
blue glow
feeling so pretty
in my birthday clothes
so soft and sensual
a gentle breeze floating in
curtains swirling like gowns
twirling at a ballroom dance
contemplating all
the shapes and sizes
of those sparkling bubbles
feels like i stole a piece
of the rainbow
inhaling the lilac scent
oh, so sweet
feels like i've taken
the fast track to heaven
the fast track to heaven
cleansing my soul
renewing my energy
so i can begin a new day
with no worries
time to shed the layers of anger
the layers of disappointment
a time for peace
a feeling of calm
a time for hope renewed
after i've lost the weight
of this world
i step out of the tub
feeling like a brand new girl
ready to be smothered
by open arms
and honeysuckle kisses
