Beloved Poem by Kara Johnstad

Warm bath water
Reflecting candle flame
Cool still

My body still chilled
I relax into the wetness
Surrounding me.

So many feelings
Longing to be expressed.
So many emotions
Longing to be exposed.

I lift myself slowly out
Of the tub and
Climb into bed.

Will I receive you tonight,
Just a glimpse?
Will your arms come and carry me
To a far distant land?
