THE CLIMATE OF YOUR SOUL
Poem By: Dr. Billy Alsbrooks
______________________________
The climate of your soul is a triumphant response to suffering
Your beauty the visualization of the whispered sentence
Somehow, you have managed the taming of opposites
______________________________
Our search for uncontaminated air destroyed the walls between us
We war with the herd mentality by dying in the flames
Our past, the river drained
At last, the river drained
______________________________
Our mouths utter forbidden words
Our souls pierce the veils of illusion
Chewing on the flesh without apology
We seek not permission to liberate our instincts
Both knowing resistance is futile
Both knowing the joy of our own destruction
______________________________
Hiding behind the broken faces,
we collide in the Valley of Lepers
In pursuit of the infinite, we awake to the dawn of our own destiny
I see through you
The art of you beyond the canvass
I see through you
Speak to you beyond the blanket that covers you
I see you
______________________________
Shall our lungs know only yesterday, or shall they breathe tomorrow’s sun?
Carving our names on hidden doors
Buying one another like capitalist whores
At last, the river drained
At last, the river drained
The climate of your soul…
I like your style, I hear you speaking, and it is the unheard words I hear.
You remind me of a style that those would criticize, because it is hard and real.
As my girlfriend described me ‘ Harden and Passionate in Christ’
