Rebirth: Blessings of a Watsu

Entering water
I am willing to transform my world
The warm velvet welcomes me
My skin opens to the soft touch
And remembers another world, another time
Embraced and held
I allow myself to enter
My sanctuary

Here I fall into my skies
Covered with a blanket of stars
I float through space and
Glide down Milky Way
Into the womb of my mother
Back to a world without
Words or shapes, I expand
And within me is All

Planets on their pathways
To God wave at me
Coming and going
Millions of years have passed
And I watch life unfold
Now I know I have always been here
But had forgotten
Inside of me I host the universe
Like my mother me

Floating like a cloud through space
My body snakes and unwinds
Pleasure in every cell
I expand into the stillness of now
Meet with eternity
And the Beloved within
I traveled through moments in time
And return with the treasure
Of peace in my heart
