The Sauna

A tidal wave of hot air

washes over me

goosebumps rise

where-ever it touches the skin

I lie on my back

feet propped up against the wall

Toes curl

from the pleasurable pain

I hold my breath

and then it's gone

vanished

a tingling memory

The soft, humid air

envelopes me

in its gentle caress

I sigh

every cell in my body

relaxes

softens

melts

Quiet music

empties my mind

It's just me

and this

this perfect moment

this tiny piece

of heaven on earth
