like a dove, descending



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
