Anoesis ... Sensate

Today's word is "anoesis" ... an-oh-ee-sis ... a state of mind consisting of pure sensation or emotion without cognitive content. (dictionary.com)

Sensate
Walking smooth beach sand,
Leaving fated footsteps behind
To be swept away by waves.

Sunlight lingers on skin,
A breeze rustles softly
Feet bathed in warm foam.

Squinting against the glare,
Anoesis seeps in,
Worries slips away.
