Baptism

Approach the water with anticipation, this fallen one. Today is the day I die again. The calm waters chill, inviting surrender. Brightest light blazes to ripples, through heavens, earth and eyes. Close these to black, last words a prayer, gentle trees sway the breeze. Last sight azure skies, split and redeemed by sunlight. Gone under, never returning to next worlds or this. Breathe the final air away, plunge the dead into depths. Rest, in eternal silence and dust under the Jordan waters.

 

Now arise! Break forth through the surface, into a new light and salvation! Breathe your first breath child, breathe. Open your eyes to see your first sight, awaken your heart with new spirit and anointing. Tears mix with water and become one, elixir of brokenness and life. Rise, step out of your grave. You have been raised with Christ.
