To Bathe in Peace

When I take a bath,

I lose my senses 

I stare at nothingness 

While the drip... drip of the faucet keeps me grounded 

For I cannot close my eyes or I will drift away.

I dunk underwater, wishing to be surrounded by the warmth 

And the tap... tap always sounds

I wonder where it comes from 

Maybe it\'s my imagination,

So I quickly emerge and breathe heavily

I cannot take baths in peace 

For my mind is far greater than any force.
