Heaven

Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)



Dimensions beyond
your wildest dreams

Teeming with life creativity,
bursting at its seams

A lone trumpeter
makes his instrument’s cries wail,

With soul stirring notes
alternately blasting thru space,

then waft gently
with the evening breeze

Easily teasing a mellow mood
of happy thoughts

Filling starlight evenings
with reasons

Not to be, so uptight

even tried more than not,
filling our spirits sails

taking us places
We’d never ventured before

ever dared to explore
Ever even been inclined

To ignore
the usual grind

and soar Off
beyond time

With none-of-your-business
attitude

Free from the corruption
of conceit

savory
Not too sweet

umami to the nth degree

Climb into new skies
on your new mind

Far more vibrant notes
than anything,

Anyone
who’s ever lived,

has ever
wrote

Crisp, clean blasts
 from the core of an ancient soul

In deeper shades
of the blues

Than a spark
from the heart of the sun

A drop of rain
rising back into the clouds

Into the eye of a hurricane

notes, so real
They're surreal

intensely tight
immensely right

Righteously
clean and bright

turning tides
Faster than light

Falling into
a black ho…le

Never had so much fun
losing my mind

While finding my soul
screaming with delight

For everything that's right
happening in life

So strong to fight
everything that’s wrong

Beyond space in time
on time

Freefall into
a world of fantasy

And falling out
into the reality

just in time on time
To save the day (again and again)

Engaging an autopilot
so, sublime

Beyond the realm
of irrelevant ideals

Beyond the realm of

The least semblance
of self-control

Feeling the urge to splurge

Going from nowhere

To heaven
