And so …we sail
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
Wind wind, waves waves
thinking of All the promises
i’ve broken
made
Of reflections cast forever on my mind
In mists and memories of days gone by
Rising fully a sail
into winds of future times
In spiritual auras
which ever gently pulse and glow
Merging with
each dawning horizons kiss
A photo visual signature
in living color
A prayer sent…
across the open sea
In peaceful waters
of a friendly port
Waiting, wondering…
to set aside quiet moments
To be of freedom
reborn…
For the woman
of my dreams
The imprint of one’s spirit
Cast upon the wind…
Is best described
in delicate rhythms
Pure and simply
The balance
of the essential elements…
is the beauty
