Forgiveness
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
Does it really matter
what continent it rains upon
To the sea?
Just as the snail has a spiral design
within its shell
Just like lightning rides the storms
The rain is carried by the wind
Just like the moon will turn the tides today
Tomorrow there is a better answer
which lies covered Deep beyond our pride
Looking deeper You will find it Beyond
Where your mind is going here and now
there is a universe yet to explore within
unfolding right here before you
if you will open your heart again
If only to allow
a new chapter
to begin
