Written in stardust
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
Were that we
were not cast adrift.
Our mortal souls
spinning wildly out of control
With the faintest hope
carried only by the faithful
Given as a gift to we
the undeserving
Whose sacrifice
is made
to save the unworthy
In hopes this will serve
to allow us all,
the willing in the struggle
to find our way back
within ourselves
Tracing back person by person
from One love
Lost amidst corruption, greed
and lust for power
of those whose souls
who have sold out
their children’s future.
As lives like stars
fly through
the vacuum of space,
as time sweeps clean footprints
of what we believe of
as accomplishments
playing out among us
as oceans of stardust
pass and in prayer
we ask for forgiveness,
purpose, guidance and wisdom
to supplement our vision.
As it is written
in the script of God’s Plan
Our space inside a capsule of time
In the eternal battlefield
of good versus evil
Where facial recognition is not a reliable test
Of wrongful acts/from righteousness.
How we yearn to know
who will remain untouched
Beyond horizons of the lifetime
of our mindsight
From which the spirit seed
has grown and gone
Abandoned this
shell of flesh upon death
To walk into divine light
