A point of being
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
We coexist
in different dimensions
Moving between by will
and circumstance
Manifestations of being…
Which rise to heights,
descend to depths
Sometimes far
beyond our comprehension
What we fulfill in the shifting balance
of our understanding
Defines our sense of happiness
Our relationships to
and with others play pivotal roles
in every facet of our lives
Material aspects
of human nature and being
Are strongly influenced
by cyclical events of historical recordance
and not so much so and so,
we dance.
Becoming aligned
in which area of focus
we feel ourselves
most practically inclined
Looking to what little
of our human history
Can be said to be
practically reported
A wealth of material
which may allow us to infer
A far greater sense of being
exists than our awareness of ourselves.
Spiritual entities exist,
besides us
Your choice …
believe it or not
What humanity there is
Rests upon this Fact
No one leaves
this world
Intact
