CARESS
Bluelighter
I was the aged fairy princess finding myself after years of searching.
Yet I always swore no mind-benders for me.
I observed and mothered my bretheren as they took trips without physically departing.
But when offered a ticket, I passed - due to fear.
Then a new tour guide emerged and offered safe passage,
I lost myself in who he was and once convinced of his sincerity,
I took a trip without leaving my home,
No bags to pack or planes to catch, but a trip it was nonetheless.
First one, then two, still here, I need another.
At the three and a half mile marker, the patterns on the floor began to move.
My guide stayed ever-near, even as I walked bare-footed into the snow...
dressed only in my nightgown.
Then, like a neverending pass on the rollercoaster,
I began to beg for it to stop.
I pleaded with my guide to return me to the safety of my home...where I was already sitting.
He smiled and shushed my cries and told me this ride must reach its own end.
He gathered my naked, shaking body and gently placed me,
Into the warmth and comfort of the bubbles.
The first feel of the warm water on my skin was breathtaking and I was overwhelmed ~ mind body and soul.
I felt him slid into the sea just behind me.
And as he cleansed my back gently and the bubbles found their passage down my spine,
I was calmed and excited all at once,
But God, don't let him take me into him now....it's too much.
But always the gentleman, he merely washed me much as a mother cleanses a newborn.
And at that moment, I was convinced that I would never be so totally in love again.
Since he left my side, I have prayed every day that I was wrong in that belief.....
God, let it rain bubbles in my bath again.....someday.
