Spirit pools
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
Avogadro’s’ number* of fools
must’ve seen Their better days,
come what may, be what might
i will forever have a prayer to say for you
each and every night
And if i die before this day is done
With my last moments breath
i will send my dearest deepest love to you
In the spirit of Jesus Christ
To see you through the darkest hours
This world may ever realize
Spiritual pools
To reflect the mortal soul and being
Of every man, woman, and child
Pouring forth from these fragile molds
A delicate vision so joyously awaiting
The returning call from the author of life
In communion with one another
As tears slip softly into flow
Quietly to merge and condense
Into radiant pools of liquid light
Spirit pools
i will meet you there, my friend
Just smile. Be not afraid
For the sacrifice has been made for us
This day is ours to share
A moment of eternity for you and i
To dare to be open hearted and free
In the spirit pool
Where blessings flow
With love
