A natural onsen, or Japanese bath, this one of many hot spring baths.
“There must be quite a few things that a hot bath won’t cure, but I don’t know many of them.” Sylvia Plath
A sweet caress
seeping into my flesh,
down to the bone of
my deepest self,
held, cradled so gently,
washed for life
in this cure of souls,
my spirit liberated,
lifted as I am lifted
into new realms,
a descent of ascent
to clarity.

I always love them, though over here it is more common to take a shower.

It’s more common to take a shower over here as well. I guess we’re in too much of a hurry.

I think that is true, baths are far more contemplative.

Your poem is showing the greater benefits of such a natural onsen. Hope you are staying save, and have not to fight against this new virus. Best wishes, Michael

The only real virus is capitalism, and I’m battling that – limited vaccine 🙂

Oh, very good thoughts, indeed. :-)) Here they are transforming capitalism into socialism, but – as Germany are known for – with nationalism in conjunction. ;-(
