God's Land

To Johnsonburg I have returned, and it's wonderful.


In God's Land Again

It's been too long, God.
Too long since your whispy, green fingers
reached for my shoes,
too long since you whispered to me,
ruffled my hair,
since you took me in your thin,
rough arms that reach down from the skies
to welcome me into your land.
I've dreamed of the day
I could lie down in your sea of hands,
waiting for you to pick me up
and carry me away from the world
into this Garden of Eden.
And now I'm here, and you don't disappoint.

As I float into your embrace,
I find that your caress feels like the fluttering wings
of thousands of hummingbirds
as they search for a place of peace
to rest their from their steadfast flight.
