A fool's moon arising
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
It's just a blues song
my heart sings every time
When sadness reigns and things
i can't explain Do summersaults inside my brain.
It's just my heart searching for heaven.
Remembering the light of love
Reflecting from her eyes?
Wondering? Will i ever be made whole.
To see the moon The same again?
Thinking of what love means
To be shared with a soulmate near.
Until this moment of eternity fades back…
Into the ocean of time. Lost.
Drifting on into the great beyond
all the way back to creation
Even my heartbeat to be lost to the wind
Leaving me just tending my mind sheep
with my emotions still wide open.
Accepting the reality.
Although still my heart may not forget.
Feeling the hurt inside
Absorbing the truth of it.
Whatever it takes
until it naturally subsides.
Till then i will just pretend
to be happy on the outside
While in the depths within
i will be still playing in my imaginations
With all that remains
of the gifts of love
What i still retain in memory
Of what it is to be free,
to be in love
Taking it easy
And singing the blues
To be free
to be
in love
