I’ve been more wet —
showering.
I’ve cycled to the sun and under the harvest moon
The hum of tires, the shussssh of the wind
singing counterpoint to my joyful heart-tune.
I’ve been more wet —
swimming.
I’ve fought, dug deep, eyes on a wheel
Discovering strength through pain,
a core of ever-forging steel.
I’ve been more wet —
bubble-bathing.
I’ve ridden the miles that build
A firm friendship foundation,
reward of valuable time fulfilled.
I’ve been more wet —
But I’ve never been more happy.
