Francesco’s poem asks to unleash the soul’s eternal fire, soar through love’s vibrant seasons, and embrace the majestic journey of unbreakable passion, for Different Truths.  

Come out, my soul,
from this
shell
that encloses you
and
protects you.
Go out, go!
Travel without hesitation,
carry with you
the beautiful seasons,
glide over the sweet
ridge
of your eternal
feeling.
Fly ever higher
and
indomitable
travel
through your
green pastures
where once
you
laid
the tired primrose
of the sacred maternal
fire.
Contemplate, my soul,
the eternal lilies
like golden
caskets
and
powerful
but delicate
flowers
of
lives lived
and
loves forged
by stories
never ended.
Let, my soul,
the thought
of the green path
illuminate the footsteps
ancient and future
carved
in the humble
earth
bloody road
of
a thousand battles
and
majestic landing
for the great
warrior!
