Cry of Love 2
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
We are the clockwork
of wondrous dreams
Despite our insistence
on straying from our course
Perhaps more so because of it,
helpless to resist
the drift of the next dimension
where we will be enabled
to shift
sure as we exist
leaping dimensions beyond
places, we’d ever imagined
we might be enabled to go
before Forward
towards
or backward
reverse
Or sideways
around in perpetual orbit
of our twilight dimensions
written into our ad lib script
Be this our manifest destiny
of Heaven/Hell.
It’s in our genes
to widen our horizons
Falling in and out of phase
between our minds And souls,
freefalling
through our histories
Beyond our tendency
to try to kill one another
To rule and possess resources,
wealth, land, water, food,
desire and dictate
the story of this
Demonstrating another side
of this being, we are
Children of the stars
in danger of losing
ourselves
in fear of losing
control,
timeless
beings
Caught in a state
of ever-changing reality
Like flurries of raindrops
falling through space
To turning
the wheels of creation
To kiss and tell
each momentary nuance
In this epic journey
through eternity
As explored
by the double helix
I
n the array of circumstance
each one a prayer
With some degree
of opportunity
A chance
to carry the spark
To ride the wave
this very moment of destiny
A cry to love
as each particle
Continues
in the dance of life
Discrete as snowflakes
No two alike
Each one similarly
different from the rest
each one
a symbol of the awe
of all that
we are,
And can ever believe
we might be
In light from where we’ve come
as collective human beings
a trinity
Man
woman/ child
as we seek
to be the blessed
Loving we seek
with the gift
of togetherness
Having
pure thought,
doing what we must
To succeed
balancing equations
With each
unique expression
Of this
our blessing
In our song
to eternity
Creating the space
for us to breathe
So that
we can proceed
To Live
Building momentum
Invoking the need…
Bringing rhythm
To the heartbeat of humanity
Planting The seed
