We ...particles

Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)



As i peer intensely
into the all...

being awestruck...

knowing i am damn near
blind

if not, by the infinite
potentiality

lost, as if by
chance

yet, as
i believe

a possibility
becomes
an awakening

should i venture to take a step
beyond belief

beyond knowing
of what i perceive

it is to be
never knowing,
for sure

where i have come from?

as to what this is?

or where, i am...
?
 
Just
living from this moment
to the next

upon this wave
where now
i ride,

rising, falling...
endless as the rhythms
on the seas...

yet, as i sense you near me

believing
that you hear my heartbeat
from within

you can sense my presence
written in these words

almost as if you feel the wind

hearing, of all a oneness
in ...all our
eternal callings

by our hearts
of souls,

we are particles...
of dimensions beyond,

drawn from within
and above...

bound,
by our relationships

and what we imagine
that we feel...

when we feel
ourselves...

in love with life

and others with us
riding upon this wave
of time-space
we're on

swept by the tide
beyond mere reason
chance or circumstance

we who have survived

even though,
we may not know it...

surrounded by some
whose prayers
surround us,

someone who dares
even without due cause

to want to go there
for us...

even when we
cast them aside

do not share...
their view

and cares more about us
than we, ourselves
can...

thus even when we
fail to recognize...

we are always
immersed ...in

love
