Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

Like any one, like Christ,
like those in Ephesus, those in Caesarea,
coming to the baptismal waters
baptized with Christ, his living water,
the Holy Spirit falling upon us
washing into us, inside us,
God, saturating us,
living waters of life
flowing within us
growing, the Spirit moving
changing us, our lives,
able, like them, like him
to speak with power, to share
in words they will understand
to rise up out of the waters, reborn
changed forever, children of God, risen
with Christ, from the depths, the grip of death
forever to live with our brother, our loving Father
