Heartbeat

Fill the tub with water
Get undressed
Light a candle
Switch off the lights
Get your right foot inside
and your left one
Grab onto the banks of the tub
and sit.
Take a deep breath
Close your eyes
and just dive.
Remain there.
Under the surface.
Calm.
Listening.
Listening to the sound of your heart.
Thumping sound.
Relaxing sound.
Only you and the sound.
Tup-tup tup-tup tup-tup.
If you need, emerge and take another deep breath.
But dive back in.
And listen.
Only tup-tup tup-tup tup-tup.
A heaven on Earth.
Repeat,
and just relax.
