The search for the soul
is the search for sophia.
Open up your eyes.
Open up your soul.
I have learned to be content in all things.
Today, you said this with truth.
Today Charlie heard his father
for the first time in a long time.
Do you remember how your voice
was deeper
not shallow
somewhere farther
below the chest in hollow
places now filled with fire you
spoke from the pit of yourself?
You carried the fire to him,
in the middle of the court.
Now, carry the fire to your soul.
He who holds the staff wields it.
Strike.
Fuck the punctuation, lad.
just speak it.
There’s an armor under your chest.
There’s a partition there, too.
If you would just wield your self,
then you could wield the world.
There’s an armor under your chest lad.
No more yelling.
You can’t do what you
did last time last time
what you did 15 minutes ago
you can’t do that anymore
you can’t
there’s an armor under your chest
if you could wield it, you could wield
the world.
What does that mean?
You’ve got to control yourself.
you’ve got to reach down
and control yourself.
That’s not a negative.
that means,
take
the reins
of the dragon.
There’s an armor under your chest.
I love you.
Ka. My ka.
Armor.
Flight.
Ba.
