Analysis of Heaven
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
Dimensions beyond
your wildest dreams
Teeming with life creativity,
bursting at its seams
A lone trumpeter
makes his instrument’s cries wail,
With soul stirring notes
alternately blasting thru space,
then waft gently
with the evening breeze
Easily teasing a mellow mood
of happy thoughts
Filling starlight evenings
with reasons
Not to be, so uptight
even tried more than not,
filling our spirits sails
taking us places
We’d never ventured before
ever dared to explore
Ever even been inclined
To ignore
the usual grind
and soar Off
beyond time
With none-of-your-business
attitude
Free from the corruption
of conceit
savory
Not too sweet
umami to the nth degree
Climb into new skies
on your new mind
Far more vibrant notes
than anything,
Anyone
who’s ever lived,
has ever
wrote
Crisp, clean blasts
from the core of an ancient soul
In deeper shades
of the blues
Than a spark
from the heart of the sun
A drop of rain
rising back into the clouds
Into the eye of a hurricane
notes, so real
They're surreal
intensely tight
immensely right
Righteously
clean and bright
turning tides
Faster than light
Falling into
a black ho…le
Never had so much fun
losing my mind
While finding my soul
screaming with delight
For everything that's right
happening in life
So strong to fight
everything that’s wrong
Beyond space in time
on time
Freefall into
a world of fantasy
And falling out
into the reality
just in time on time
To save the day (again and again)
Engaging an autopilot
so, sublime
Beyond the realm
of irrelevant ideals
Beyond the realm of
The least semblance
of self-control
Feeling the urge to splurge
Going from nowhere
