Analysis of Spirits touching
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
we are Becoming closer
to each other...
Finding what little effort
it may take,
While compounded
by feelings of compassion
We more freely
give
when tragedy overtakes
Us unexpectedly
A spontaneous reaction
in giving aid
And comforting
those in pain
What difference
Love makes
You do not know me
I am much like you,
The sense of being alive
Have followed parallel pathways
For us to get where we are
in style and technique
We are passionate,
inspired and unique
There are subtle differences
In almost everything we do
at these crossroads
We have arrived…
Each, with precious memories
Of growing up,
With friends and family
Touched by people
Who have inspired
What we are today
What has brought us here
In this tender moment
Being with you
This day
Although, perspectives
More than principles
May be cast in different lights
Knowing we may not share everything
About how we feel inside
We have both lived through
Many contrasting points of view
Moving closer, together...
In effort to Find
what little it may take,
Is never a mistake
As we live, together and apart
Our natural attraction
fuels the fractal bases
Of our myriad interactions
Compounded
by the calculus of contentment
In our feelings of compassion
We give in troubled times
A spontaneous reaction
In what touches
Places in our minds
We’d never known
As different
As we open your hearts
And let another soul touch ours
Surrendering, our fears
And let another spirit being
What happenings in our lives
Brings joy and tears…
what passion
Moves your heart
And breathes within
Our soul
