Spirit reign
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
a momentary view is all we have
in a point assigned,
as spirits of the all we are but few
having come to be
to carry the burden of humanity
as this is our time to do
and be the ones, who get things done
a portion of the flow of souls
we represent of common ancestry
more than we know
but, for some great unknown
given a second chance
to make what course corrections
we might, as we live as is, fitting
for the very future we are coming to
in this life being lost
without a clue
all, because too long ago
someone tossed the script
of what we were tasked to do
within these motions of life,
inspired perhaps
with insights from a heaven
which coincides
with a common sense of life
within this universal stream
of good intent
not too far from the ocean
of our heart of mind
to grasp a handful of the eternal dream
as it comes and goes,
combined with the realization
of this moment in flux,
as it grows... changes phase
and begins transitioning
from what might appear at first
to be mere reactions
in a series of cascading steps
played upon this stage
to key events in the spiritual pools,
we see reflected in the tides of life
as it affects us
individually and collectively
a state of being
where focal points of reality
meet our minds
and our spirituality
comes into focus,
changes inwardly
bends time,
becomes aligned
with the eventuality
of shifting tides
its energy, a catalyst,
a fuel and quench
both to allow a spark
to add fire to the clay
its the color we portray
in the mood of our persuasion
and if continuity allows
the part we play
among our fellow travelers
as this reality imperfectively changes
by our force of will
an influence, perhaps
of our passion + prayers
to continue in its rise
to a place we by chance,
call destiny, as we drift,
sometimes purposefully
along our path
connected, in many ways
On this journey
across dimensions of time
and space
then too,
we all, in part
complete the arc,
take our turn
reflecting upon the heart
of the universe of our beliefs
carry a torch lit by our consciousness.
a remnant of a gift
before time,
we received
from the source
and pass on
as we are able
as our spark materializes
but for a moment
in its return
to dust
