Morning Shower

Morning Shower

This morning I have carefully slumbered into the bathroom to start the shower
Groggy and tired I turn the control counterclockwise to a satisfying temperature
I step inside the cubical and shiver with the initial shock of water pouring on me
My body starts to melt as the warmth covers me like a warm blanket

Worries and agendas come seeping through the shower tiles like unavoidable green monsters
Clouds of steam give a ferocious roar and the mischievous scoundrels scamper off into hiding,
Knowing that they will return once again

I’m taken to some place new
A beach with sand white as snow and the sun’s rays kissing every inch of my skin;
With the sounds of a soothing melody and a reggae beat off in the distance
I don’t recall the song but find myself knowing every word and sing along,
As my mood is calmed and contented

Life

My eyes are leaking because I’m allergic to life
The rivers of my eyes flowing immensely, one into another
For I am afraid of being blind to what lies ahead of me
There’s nothing worse than jumping out of an airplane with no parachute
Nothing to assure the preparedness and safety of your journey
On the way down thinking is “Am I gonna crash and burn?”
At this moment I don’t know up from down
Neither my heart nor my mind is calm
Too many thoughts and emotions rushing all around me
In a whirlwind of chaos
I need steady
I need stable
My feet on the ground
My head up proud
My mind clear and ready
To conquer this thing little thing call life
