Ecstasy

It's midday and way too hot
The sun burns like a beam through discarded glass.

I lay beneath the slowly circling ceiling fan
Eyes closed
Ice tea close at hand while
Listening to Enya's soft soothing sounds.

Such is ecstasy.

Exquisite! I can feel the heat, see the ice tea sweating in it’s glass, hear the tranquilizing, becalming sounds of the Orinoco Flow. I must have read over the title, because the last sentence came as a surprise - brought me up short - yet was as flawless as a puzzle piece snapping into place. Ecstasy: without a doubt. An exquisite word painting . . . the kind they have in Harry Potter, because it is moving! I can both hear and see that slowly circling ceiling fan.
