Step into the steam, but not all the way,
no need to be greedy and go for it all at a time.
No other place can you settle into quietness,
to feel the warm gush all around you.
Lean back to the cool wall and freeze,
for a feeling of hot and cold together is rare.
Soap is fun to massage with,
grinding in the clear spheres to smoothness.
Bubbles are an extra that is optional,
or rather see the slick skin beneath the surface.
A feeling of oneness floods the body,
a trip back to nature in an unconscious movement.
Close the eyes and lick the moist lips,
heat in the air is around you.
