Analysis of Written in stardust

Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)



Were that we
were not cast adrift.

Our mortal souls
spinning wildly out of control

With the faintest hope
carried only by the faithful

Given as a gift to we
the undeserving

Whose sacrifice
is made
to save the unworthy

In hopes this will serve
to allow us all,
the willing in the struggle

to find our way back
within ourselves

Tracing back person by person
from One love

Lost amidst corruption, greed
and lust for power

of those whose souls
who have sold out
their children’s future.

As lives like stars
fly through
the vacuum of space,

as time sweeps clean footprints
of what we believe of
as accomplishments

playing out among us
as oceans of stardust

pass and in prayer
we ask for forgiveness,

purpose, guidance and wisdom
to supplement our vision.

As it is written
in the script of God’s Plan

Our space inside a capsule of time
In the eternal battlefield
of good versus evil

Where facial recognition is not a reliable test
Of wrongful acts/from righteousness.

How we yearn to know
who will remain untouched

Beyond horizons of the lifetime
of our mindsight

From which the spirit seed
has grown and gone

Abandoned this
shell of flesh upon death

To walk into divine light
