God’s green is breaking through
at the urging of a Jesus hymn.
Echoing through the purple mountains,
groveling at the feet of green grasses,
sighing sweetly over the tiniest bud
of a Christly cotton wood, soaking in the sun.
Holding the hand of a sunray sprite,
dancing beneath the dripping eaves,
we receive a small smile from the blue eyed
presence that has a particular fondness
for such faith on a first spring day.
Earth’s broad belly, holy in its heavenly push,
bares her breast to the pale shoots sure
of the Son's light they were born under.

I defineitely am not "religious"...I was dying to tell you and glad the contest has ended so I might. I am spiritual and soulful and pay no man for neither feeding my spirit nor forgiving my sins. I, alone, am responsible to learn the lessons and I, alone, and reponsible to translate what I am taught into good things...or not. It's between me and my creator only.
