Baptize Us Wise



Under water he holds me down

till I feel I’m going to drown.

While I am breathless in John’s hands

I’ve made a friend who understands

desires we have to share and care

are as strong as our need for air.



My first gulp of air

feels breath’s a prayer

creating with love

peaceful as a dove

birth of an adult child

who’ll find how in the wild

earth water sun and sky

re-birth when’re we die.
