the
Spirit of God
a
physical presence
like
a dove, descending
on
this man Jesus
watching
John approach him
as
he entered the Jordan
their
conversation, cathartic
as
they entered the water
the
Spirit of God
a
physical presence
like
a dove, descending
falling
on Jesus
he
fell for a moment
the
weight upon him
John
lifting him, together
there
in the Jordan
Jesus
rising, a voice falling
praise
of the Father
a
voice claiming
this
man as God’s son
the
Spirit of God
a
physical presence
clearly
upon him
as
he rose from the Jordan
