Two Faces Of Messiah

For me Joseph is a Messiah.
Jesus of our time.
The image of Son of the Father,
That's how I understand.
If I wanted to hear
real JESUS, HIS VOICE -
it is Joseph, whom I hear,
his baritone, nervous tone.
His drowning in emotions,
the flow of sublime thoughts,
his life full of the extorsions,
all broken and all distort.
I was looking for Christ since childhood,
Joseph was recognized at once.
He's not an iconic actor -
not the vision of sweet kind love -
But the image of Man who suffered:
Gethemania, loneliness,
when he was completely abandoned,
still met Angel and remained blessed.
Went through courts for Word and inspections,
And at 32 - the exile,
it's like death and then - resurrection,
when he started his new life.
When he cryed under lonely ceiling,
when he spat the new English words
broke his tongue with too much saliva,
but still serving the Loving Word.
He was alone in winter Venice,
like really a poet-monk,
where through the life's coldness and stiffness
you feel his warm hand and God's Love.
Jews are waiting their Messiah
every moment and every time.
they are nourishing their kindness
with the person who puts them high.
Such a person is in all nations.
such a person comes to fulfill.
It is Joseph who had this mission.
It is Joseph who went through it.
He compared himself to Jesus,
In December: you were the first.
And not every one hears and sees it.
That's the level he stood upon.
(Death was not tragedy for Jesus,
he accepted it freely for us.
So that we found no tragedy here -
in this paradox earthly life) .
But of course there are higher levels,
But in Russia of those times -
it was him who served for the blessing,
and for us swines he was enough.
And there is second part of Jesus -
it is when He is Son of God -
that's the image saint John is giving,
that's the second, and pure part,
The two faces of Christ I found,
The two faces - I met in life:
Joseph Brodsky - the Son of Man and
John of Kronstadt - the Son of God.
Son of Word, the updated Torah,
Face of tragedy, Face of light.
Unaccepted and the adored one,
the two servants on threads from sky.
Maybe it should be seen vice versa:
It is Christ who's in everyone.
But these two for me are more close
to His image, His voice, His mind.
