Like Water

Like into a shower, heated water running, steam rising, I step into your presence. Bare, vulnerable, ready for your words to wash over me. The heat can be unbearable, burning, I turn away, let the droplets fall along my back. The hollowness inside can only be filled by the comfort of your words, the warmth of your presence. I turn to you for solace, a sanctuary to let the world slip away, melt away the knots, the thoughts that have me frozen. Wash away the worries the fears, with you can I always stay?

Beautiful Meena. The vulnerability in this poem
fuels her. The honesty of submitting to healing.

Meena said...

Thank you Cynthia!
Yes, denial is often the hardest thing to overcome.

Oh, Meena, my friend. This is so very beautiful. Delicate, stark, hopeful and real. Thank you.

Sorry for sounding repetitive, but I just cannot help it. One word - Beautiful! It is deep, intense, heartfelt and... believe me, I can go on and on. Well done! Keep writing!!!

Judith,
Thanks!!

Bros (Ajey),
Ur alive :-P Just been a while. Thank you and and thank you.

Seraphine,
1. Welcome
2. I think the comics are funny...but then again, I have weird dry humour.
3. Yes, a big wrinkle is true - Catch 22 is it not? it will wrinkle, but its the only thing that can get rid of the knots?

OH yea!
Ive surely been here more than often!

beautifully wrought my friend...

Meena said...

Yes, sometimes, one person/thing/concept/song can matter so much. It's impressive that something can be so calming when the world was meant to be a reckoning...though that may just be my inner pessimist unleashing.

Thanks Hayaah :-)

Hey Judith!
I miss you too!

I've just been MIA from the blog world lately. The work nonsense wanted attention again. I hope to get back to writing and reading soon.
