Before his time, tempted in the wilderness
a baptism like no other
a shaft of light, an opening of heaven
torn open at his dying to self
rising out of the depths,
rising clean, washed
seeing, himself, a glimpse of heaven
feeling the weight, as if a dove,
the Spirit descended from above
anointed, commissioned to serve,
by the very voice of God
a blessing for the son from above
