God Is Life

Judah plays in the garden
at The Church of The Holy Cross
reverently he
removes his shoes,
takes communion in front of
the huge pine tree,
praises the Creator
with his big, wide, bare feet
pressing against soft green and earth-
twirling in euphoria,
playing Hide and Seek
with the Holy Spirit,
He blooms with laughter,
is annointed with sunset,
and is redeemed with the rapture of Life.
