ablutions

palms warming lotion
scent of rosewater rising
hands silkening limbs

tortoise shell comb teeth
draw through tresses golden-red
a faint smile appears

she greets the sunrise
sends a welcome on the wind
lights the day with love

I like the rich imagery in this one very much.

Loved the last stanza and the play with words! Bet she was squeaky clean too?
