Us Today

The steam rises From the hot tub A slight chill cools the air We are submerged In ninety eight degree water The warm water Warms me to my soul A blue light, lights our way As it reflects on the water The moon in the sky Is three quarters full Its light shoots through the clouds Like an x-ray I watch her move in the water Slow, but still graceful With the help of the light I see her figure as she moves about A figure I am very familiar with But yet, tonight Seems like the first time I’ve seen it Maybe because I’m looking at it Through the eyes of a man Realizing, that when we were together Years ago, I was just a boy Trying to be a man The beauty I didn’t see then Is so very visible to me now The years have taught me That strength and inner beauty Will always last forever As good looks and a shapely body Slowly fade like a setting sun Yes, being naked in a hot tub with you Made me realize all the mistakes That I had made years ago © 9-19-10/RJH
