as if walking into a warm afternoon pond
sunlit through the leaves
enveloping me
as I enter
a full body baptism
surrounding me
your warm waters
lapping against me
flowing over me
caressing my body
my face
my forehead
washing my hair away —
away from my forehead
rinsing my troubles
telling me I'm safe
making me safe
submerged
beneath your surface
never drowning
always protected
— immersed
