Baptism

Water rushes past my face Coolness and chills sink in Goosebumps pop and hair raises On this brand new skin The warmth of the breeze hits me I feel it's breath, it's near Passes by my shoulders Hits me in my ears Sun reflects off the ripples It blinds me, hits my eyes Orbs and halos fill my vision When I look up to the sky I sometimes gulp the water Salt dissolves on my tongue The crystals dance inside my mouth To a song I've never sung I lie in the caressing water I lie there carelessly Floating to a good place That God has meant for me

My wife and I where Baptised together, a wonderful experience. I do like the location of your baptism, it sounds like a slice of heaven.
