The Soul
For Papa Lee
The soul just knows while we grope
The soul goes with the flow while we try out different chokeholds
And everything is perfect your fingers warp with pain but still you straighten them to point out the window at the whole of the moon that awaits
The soul is serenely being while we are scheming
The soul is glowing in the moment while we are either coming or going
Everything is perfect your family is pulled in by the gravity of their love for you in your soul system you become the setting sun
The soul just hugs and loves while we're in fight or flight
The soul is always seeking while we try to hide
And everything is perfect as you finally let go and we go spinning into empty space and collapse into the black hole where your body goes
Your soul hovers over us while we grieve and cry
Your soul keeps on growing after your body dies
And everything is perfect you showed us your soul and we will not forget again the face of god that shined through your rosy skin
