Underneath Your Clothes
By: Noah Eaton
4/6/02

I recall times when I was claustrophobic
To me justice was just ironic
Considered high-strung
Contemplated suicide, my dreams were banished
I felt like Ganymede
Serving cups to my demons

Who would ever think of
Such an incandescence that follows
To watch a thunderstorm
Spawn a perfect rainbow
And watch these streets with no names
Flower with the samaras of a sugar maple
And finding your shoulder no longer freezing
When it is suddenly touched by an angel

Underneath your clothes
There is a friend in both you and me
Underneath your clothes
Jesus loves you always sincerely
And all the flowers
That bloom in the spring

Maybe I'm just miffy
But these feelings to me are righteous
His song lullabyes me like a child
Swathes my wounds and I don't need a bandage
I feel the spring dawning upon me
It feels so good to reform
I now wear this cleavage
Singing this song to my Good lord

Underneath your clothes
There is a friend in both you and me
Underneath your clothes
Jesus loves you always sincerely
Underneath your clothes
There's an oriel for both fraternity and sorority
And all the flowers
That bloom in the spring

Look up to the heavens, my friend
He will always lend you a shoulder to cry over
All you have to do is ask
Our hearts will always rest in the hands of our Savior

Underneath your clothes
There is a friend in both you and me
Underneath your clothes
Jesus loves you always sincerely
Underneath your clothes
There is a love so divine and heavenly
Underneath your clothes
Is a vision of golden streets
Underneath your clothes
Jesus will always nurture the child inside you in your sleep
Underneath your clothes
Love graces your territory...

A lot to digest here. I hope all is well with you now. ... underneath your clothes... we're all the same. A cleansing is refreshing.

Thanks,

Noah,

Such a beautiful song and testimony of what I believe the Lord can do when we get beneath the undergarments and touch the heart of the matter....  When we just get a glimpse of the heart of GOD and how much He truly Loves us.  Oh, the insignificant things of this world truly display their insignificance.  What a glorious thing to have your eyes illuminated by the beauty and unity around you as expressed in your poem. Gave me a smile to think about what I viewed as a  great big bay-view window opened up for both genders to view the unfolding of what-so-ever is pure and lovely.  It too is my desire that all people have the same opportunity to have their stormy weather turn to rainbows and have their unknown streets take a distinct direction down a path of most sweet reward.  Just a beautiful poem full of delightful imagery and may you always hang on to that special melody in your heart that GOD has given you.  GOD bless.  -Bob

Noah, underneath all the things we hide behind, our lord Jesus Christ sees all and yet loves us. That's his mercy and grace... to love a retch like me. We can never be "good enough" and we don't have to be.
You have well said all this, and much much more in your poem.

Deb
