Baptized

 Standing beneath a blanket of stars 

Naked 

Vulnerable 

Exposed 

The shower rains down on me 

Baptized by the water 

Serenaded by the wind 

There’s magic in the desert 

Beauty in the darkness 

A comfort in the night 

Never felt more alive 

As the last evidence of you 

Swirls down the drain 

It’s fulfilling 

Watching it disappear 

Guess I had to come all the way out here 

To rid myself of you 

Sacred freedom 

Creating a path for what shall be 

From the rubble of what was 

I stand beneath this cascade 

A relic and rising star at once 

Coexisting
