There is definitely something comforting about partially submerging your head into the bath water, just enough for your ears to be covered.
Under the water, all you hear is yourself.
No one else's problems, no yelling, no raucous madness.
Sometimes I sing, mostly I let my thoughts echo in the stillness of the lavender sea.
Tonight I soaked myself for over an hour-
To erase the sickening film of viscous air over my skin,
Shut myself in and out,
Surrender to my silent solace.
