Baptized in the Jordan



The preacher announced on the bus:
"We are heading to the Jordan river,
those wishing to be baptized
will get their chance."

Thoughts of being dunked
in the same water
as the real Jesus.
That appealed to me.

Visions of a wilderness
river, 
just like in those bible times.
Taking my cloak...

you don't know me
i doubt you ever will
i'm just the nobody
you met at phoenix hill

at the bar before the show
i bought you a brew
i said "i'm a nobody"
you said "i'm a nobody too"

i drove all that way
just to see your show
cause there were...

Staring up to the night sky
Stars and moon, clouds passing by
Dancing alive, caress of lights
Gentle as the hope that comes to life
When I see this breathtaking display
Laughing and smiling like they are praising
The Creator of them all, the One
Who lights up the moon and the...

I'm beginning to heal
and it is so freeing
The beating of
My own drums
My lyrics are shining
Dancing to

I'm a new star
Sparkling and shining
I don't need no rhyming
The gifts in
my own head
They rock to
the beat of
My own timing
Move over you
Self absorbed
Psychopath 
I'm being...

Well now it’s too late, I’ve been baptized
My naiveness torn apart in the storm
And everything fragile’s been broken
Learned not to count on a place safe and warm

Yeah yeah yeah you know I’ve been baptized
My heart, torn apart in the storm
My soul, it has been bound...

My life a poem, forego the count,
  that comes in threes and fours

The space between to catch new breath,
  that time may now allure

These moments gifted more than once,
  now constant in their prayer

Whose vow will cast the river wide,
 —new words...

Dear John the Beloved,
spread me; your gospel
and be baptized in my Jordan...

let your tongue speak diverse kisses to my lips
as you read and flip through the heavy breasted pages of Psalms
simmering slowly down the breadth of my nude hips
with tickling fingerings, way down to Jordan,
where...

i never thought i would feel this way,
but i wanna be everywhere you are
even when we cannot be,
i imagine that i am there with you
all the colors of the world have the perfect hue
the brightness of the sun has rays that perfectly heal
the greenery adds...

My life a poem, forego the count,
that comes in threes and fours

The space between to catch new breath,
that time may now allure

These moments gifted more than once,
constant in their prayer

Whose vow will cast the river wide
—new words to baptize there
