Analysis of Finding truth
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
A conquest lost
in dreams of youth
countless seeds sown,
some wildly
sailing our ideas
to the wind
Thru both calm
and storm
Riding majestic steeds
performing valiant deeds
For reasons
unknown
Before our only chance
we know ...gone
we fortify,
enhance and guide
after the pattern
of our steps,
To coincide with what time
suggests is prudent
there is much
for us to do
leading choices,
shifting voices
as we lend our time,
our life our pride
hoping successfully
to pursue a path
we see them
as they're lost
from familiar places
in all we ask for proof
we'll not be wasting
time in play
even as we seek,
we focus
transitioning continuously
by phases,
Shifting
thru the traces
makes me wonder
sometimes
about the things
we do
making every effort
To live a composite truth
when we join efforts
ever in our hearts
