HOLY CHILD


THE HOLY CHILD

In nature a child awakes me.
I can not look into his eyes.
His holy being radiates beauty and humility.
I can see he is smiling happily as
he serves me a meal of bread, rice, and water
which all seemed to come directly from his being.
I smile awkwardly because his innocence is contagious.
Finishing my meal, he hugs me.
Brotherly love motivates his affectionate kisses
as I realize what I must do to leave this reference of time.

I make eye contact.
