Falling teardrops
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
Falling... teardrops
Creating ripples
of the fluidic fabric
in our lives
Rhythms of vibrations
of all what we aspire
Every phase of our lives
given reason if we are so, inspired
we find ourselves
Perfecting our form for the entry point
For the perfect swan dive,
just shy of the arc of the moment
in those who pause to reflect
The place where our futures
start awakening within
their embryonic skin
Then, sensing the current
of the emotion
Upon the rise and ebb
of universal tides at flow
As intuitions lead us
to one another
to a point
Where they coincide
otherwise, passion for conflict,
will merge and collide
making timing shift
A little too far left or right
and leave us only watching
our lost futures as they slip on by
While we dream away
half alive
The echoes of intention
what remnants of our passions
lost in our suspension of time, in life
As fluidic echoes of teardrops, disconnect
Fall through empty spaces,
never quite erasing traces of mistakes,
old/new/ones we’ve yet to make
Ones spanning from the cradle to the grave,
between molecules broken free
from the wall of silence which divide us
from our loving dreams
While trapped behind
time spent alone
Held within the shadows
of our separate shells
In hopes that we’ll succeed,
whenever we find the will
To germinate the seeds
for our fortunes
Once planted, lovingly
to freely grow
And the means
to transcend the urge
To remain true to our feelings,
get used
to
Breaking free
of our pattern
of persistent failures
Learning to get more comfortable
with cheating fate
Rather than
just to be resigned
to following
The past pathways of misery,
Find somewhere in our spirit-will
the strength To break
from the pattern of past mistakes
to overcome our weeping trails of woes
Swing our parties do si do.
No longer satisfied with the consolation prize
Feel free to experience love
Let the natural rhythm in our lives
Once again, our true spirit’s flow
Provide for our survival
Inertial guidance
Together once, and forever
As i believe was always meant to be
Without either one of us losing pride
Having sold our souls
In compromise
