Baptism

My body splashed underwater

And froze still in the middle of the pool

To waltz with the buoyancy and totter

Through the memories of my life true.

The lime and sky-blue lights mingled

Before my eyes like magic.

The water embraced me and engulfed

Every tear and even my logic.

The magnificent life seemed but

A breath away. So far to reach.

But in me, it was that sought

To give life in abundance so rich.

I wished to stay underwater a bit more

But my pastor feared I might drown to breathe no more.
