Deflection: Immersion in the Moment

Pain in the toe joints again,
Had a hot bath
And let go into it,
Noticing what transpired:

Many memories of other baths
And other times
Emerged and danced
And played about merrily;

Wiggled the toes,
Rotated the ankles,
Stretched the legs
And appreciated the results;

Felt like I’d been here
For an eternity,
Seen and done all this before
Though not from the same perspective;

Not sure what this meant,
But was intriguing
And entertaining
To so reflect;

Perhaps twas only
The soothing hot water
Or the sheer pleasure
Of weightless motion;

Either way,
A pleasant
And simple method
Of enjoying the moment;

Just the agreeable feel
Of the warmth of the water
And the gentle easy
Movement through it
Of the limbs of the body.
