Animals With God Souls

Within animal body of my name 
celestial soul of stellar energy 
animates my passion to savor life 
when we embrace as voices in the dark 
on bed of fabrications we design 
to bind our hearts with dawn light of respect. 

Because we are the newest animals 
to walk the Earth as if we own its dreams, 
bright sunlight smiles through tangled limbs of trees 
with understanding love that parents give 
to watch us play in flowers of childhood 
before we build empires of thought control. 

We trace insignia through naive hearts 
with blades of grass that highlight bitter truth 
that someone always tries to confiscate 
more food than they need to eat every day, 
then traps our spirits with fake legacy 
in traditions they ploy to bind our souls. 

Trapped in tradition of the way things are, 
we struggle to contain fierce energy 
to play free on the fenceless plain of wind 
till many freeze to death in winter snow 
so we combine our efforts to produce 
enough food for our children to survive. 

I hear strange voices in the godless woods 
call my name with eerie whispered tone, 
so I log in to my new bank account 
with plan to pay the pied piper his due 
because Orpheus leads our souls from Hell 
in great escape from prison of the church. 

Church bells ring weirdly in the misty vale 
so we assemble by the drought-dry well 
to shake peonies from iron chains of fear 
where white lambs graze on sorrows of our hearts 
till honeybees brew wisdom from despair 
so we engage in dialogue of souls. 

If we decide to follow streams of change 
by hiding anger at electric clouds, 
we may find where the sea of dreams has hid 
behind devotion to the lonely girl 
who always seems to know what will occur 
because she catches lightning with her eyes. 

Now that our stars throb in reachable depths, 
we sell fruit of grief to strangers with coins 
who glare as they draw borders that enclose 
our freedom to explore bountiful hills 
where rain strips dire urgency from our hearts 
because we are animals with god souls.
