Spiritual

Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)



Holding on by means
Exceeding
my most extreme power limits

i soon realize…
There’s no disgrace
Calling to a higher power
than i alone
To state my case…

Whenever i need to reinforce
My real and/or imagined strength
Beyond my limited ability
To meet the tasks i am called to undertake

To resist demonic forces at hand
When i must bend before i break

Taken to the place i must make my stand
And pray with whatever wisdom i may find

At the very moment i am called upon
To act upon what challenges Stand before me

As i stand before the divine
And pray beg forgiveness where i may

A gift of insight to light the path
To deliverance

Before darkness clouds my way
Lest i or others be led astray
