Morning shower, Part one

By Francis Scudellari

I.

I find myself
Lingering longer, lured
By snaking water's steamy hiss
Closed-lid led from
Time, tempted thoughts a-drift,
Do drops, drained with cascading warmth

Re-called, perhaps
To gestational bath
A pre-personal memory
Tethered within
Maternal mind, free-floats
Cocooned, promise still borne, unspoiled

Or back further,
In cellular yearning
Immersed, primordial being
Washed, by dying
Stars' divine spark upward
Evolving, a chained reaction

Thanks JD. I take my inspiration where I can get it. I still need to finish the second half ... so hold your praise until you see where it ends up :).

pleasantly flowing verses. You can be a poet.

I agree completely Robert ... and since I don't go to church anymore, I have to make my spiritual connections in the mundane.
