she stepped into the pool

warm welcoming water

late evening sun shone brightly

after a few laps she floated

weightless drifting dreaming 

she waited

troubles melted away

thoughts dissolved

sunset approached

floating

drifting

she waited

darkness crept in

floating in the black silence

thoughts lined up 

all demanding attention

all were denied entry

she waited

dismissed thoughts wandered off

looking for another soul

her mind and body at peace

every breath treasured

each heartbeat worshipped

she waited

a loud splash

signaled his arrival

pulling her close

a strong embrace

warm kisses

she surrendered
