Baptism Of Impure Soul

Life is a preparatory bath
the longer you stay in
the more veteran wrinkles
you age gravity accumulate.

Yet the illuminating parable is
vigorous scrubbing is also required,
for the preparatory metaphorical cleansing;
of the apparently tainted, soiled, sinful, soul.

All personality garments worn thereafter
are those chosen carelessly, with impetuosity,
or meticulously prayerfully conscience chosen;
soul fed by all cumulative proceeding deeds.
