Sleeping In His Meadows


He sleeps in the meadows
                       on a pillow made of flowers 
Arc-Angel voices are heard 
              from afar 
A gentle wind 
                  blows softly 
                             at the nape of His neck.   
               Is he sleeping or dreaming ?
                                I don't know, but I feel Him on my skin.   
He created the world 
                      in seven days 
His garment is made of sackcloth              and camel hair 
The scars in his hands 
                    have healed beautifully 
from the salve of His father's loving hands....
He sleeps in the meadows 
                                      like a warrior King of old 
who has just saved the world from a great disaster.  
Holding back floods, earthquakes, gunfires, wars 
                                  he leaves behind the scent of flowers 
where there once was hunger, 
                  people aren't hungry anymore. 
He feeds me honey from the shackles of my 
                                     fraying soul, 
as I fall asleep next to him, 
                           soundly,  
                       like a child, who could never ask for more.
