There will be another opportunity

The Jordan River, Palestine

There will be another opportunity

Don’t worry,

I know now, it stings

I know this feels like it was it but oh,

If only you knew.

Don’t let your heart break over silly things.

There will be another opportunity and I hope that this time you jump right in

to the water, don’t wade

Don’t wait

Don’t worry about what the others think

But bap/tize yourself in your own religion

Sink your head under the water and when you come up gasping for air it will all be clear.

There will be another opportunity so don’t be bitter;

eat your fruit as it was laid out on the table, just waiting for you to wake up and take it.

God cut it up for you with love,

so eat its sweetness wherever you are,

let the juice run down your neck,

devour it to its core.

the sun is still rising in the west,

the ripest season is still to come.
