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
