DECEMBER 18TH | BAPTISM

Adam R. Nettesheim. “Baptism.” Digital Illustration.

What did I know of the cosmic dance I was joining?
What did a mere child have to offer the armies of the High King?
What did those who brought me to the water and Spirit fully know?
And what would I think of who I’ve become since those long years ago?

I still don’t comprehend the movements of the divine.
I still don’t hold the courage to fight these battles of mine.
I still don’t know as I assume all those who went before me knew.
And I still can’t imagine to what I am still being converted into.

Yet He has made for me a way through failed steps, pain and strife!
Yet He has vanquished my death and has brought me new life!
Yet He knows all the holy mystery that I cannot see!
And He knows the love and the light that He is creating me to be!
