MARRY THE EVERLASTING
Poem By: Dr. Billy Alsbrooks
There is such a thinking, that crumbles all walls
There is such a mind, that no obstacle dare stand in the way of
The spirit cannot dance to two opposing tunes
It must choose between the truth or the approval of strangers
The pursuit of acceptance wraps one in mortal flesh
The thirst for real allows the soul to rise above death
Our lungs must decide the type of air they wish to breathe
The sweet taste of the temporary, or the bitter flavor or immortality
Those who seek comfort, who live for the applause of others
These ignorant minds court the death of praise
Those who chase the dark, who shun the rules of sheep
These brave minds serenade the power of greatness
Our eyes cannot bow to two opposing visions
Destiny must be chosen, it’s not inherited
Our veins cannot pump death and life at the same time
To bleed truth is to marry the everlasting
What others run from, disqualifies them from Heaven
What others run to, secures their place in nirvana
The flaws that you own are the keys to the timeless
The truth that you acknowledge will open the gates of the forever
Marry the everlasting…
