Submersion
to accept the seal of the Son†
one must be submerged
completely
in water
one is submerged in death
but rises to life
it is not detailed
in some article in a newspaper
or told by a neighbor
or explained by a lector
it was explained
by the magnifier
of what's greater
it a choice given
by the giver
it cannot be forced
by an intruder
pouring drips of water
on an infant
can be a starter
but it's not the token
told by the informer
one must be submerged
completely surrounded
by depths of water
to reemerge
in the awakeness of life
that which breathes
the truth of the light
then after the register
the seal-of-the-Son† taker
becomes the doer
‒offering your candor
to all willing
even an offender
so through eternal life
they become the winner
