A sigh of contentment
Tired muscles loosening up
In the heat of the water
I watch the steam rise
Hoping, praying with this act
My worries dissipate

I pick it up and admire its form
Through the wave of heat
There's still a glint

The glint of steel,
The keen edge
As it parts the flesh and
the ruby river of my life comes rushing out

I let my hands rest by my sides
Allowing the water to ease my troubles
As I lay my head back
And close my eyes
