    Let's Go To The River

     Take my hand go with me to the river of shame
    There take out your finger and point at me with blame
    Reach into your pockets and draw out the salt
    Rub it slowly ever deeper into wounds that bleed
    For this baptism of fire
    I dedicate to you
    I know the treacherous currents of this cold river
    You see I've died here before
    So I'll be your willing guide
    I know your scared of water that rages high
    So I'm showing you how resurrections done
    Be sure and tie the concrete block secure
    And laden it heavy about my neck
    Don't be frightened this too shall pass
    As the substitute goat of sin is driven in
    The water drowns the cries as the ego dies
    The body is next as it fights for breath
    The spirit doesn't even struggle as the rejoicing is started
    GodSource divine who listens, protect the ones who brought me here to the depths of the river
    Cleanse their heart, mind and hands of every speck of murder
    They were heavy laden and knew not the way
    Into loves resurrection
    Honored, I am honored to transmute it for them
    That they may be free
    From the things that suck out life
    That drain their blood free of heart
    Indeed not a sacrifice rather a pleasure
    To release even one soul to fly
    Into open skies
    Unleash the miracles as you blow breath back into my body
    Now I'm clean of all that was unseen and decaying
    Remember when you point a finger
    Your asking me to help unload blame
    River of shame holds no terror
    Miracle of resurrection
    I am risen free again to be me
    Standing on the bank
    Take my hand lets go celebrate
    Gods science of being

    What a poem. Very lyrical and your tone is nicely consistent..
