You have caring eyes—a sardonic wit—a
passion for the weary. Soul, plus, spirit, energy, plus, miracle, wisdom and
knowledge. The pride of the mind, deeper understanding, growing quickly,
philosophic and teleological. To see the art of young sparrows, flying into
heaven, such radical compassion. A father is proud, susceptible to stories, lenient
on several points. A child is a mentor, a student, a sage; mutual respect,
great independence, the process is ink, paper, and education. To need advice,
to remain skeptical, to receive said advice; as creature and star, as phoenix
and thunder, to have lived by a hug and a grunt. To meet hearts, to dance part a
capella, to need from a distance: the beauty of the universe, the astrology
of space, the archeology of cultures; by gift and arrow, by love and memory, to
adore the individual in offspring.
