The Anointed
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
The sweet scent
of the essence
of the people
of good spiritual water
rises towards
the heavens
Upon beams
of love and light
and those who struggle
to remain so
within this
cascading stream
which issues forth
new spiritual voices
from the depths
within this well of souls
Are granted freedom
in ways increased tenfold
beyond the joy
of discovery
That our prayers
not expressed in vain
When we
expend energies
Reflecting
compassion and concern
for others In this living circle
we play our part in
As we grow
more learned
Raising the sum
of consciousness
within this our human tribe
In effort to cancel out the hatred
inflicted against the communal
heartbeat of a loving humanity
As we have so many times
unknowingly been led to conflict
by dissenting voices
Whose desire for selfish gain
is fed purely
by others pain
As spiritual voices
from our common pasts
Perhaps even once deadly enemies
are joined again at last
seeking to regain
the sanity
We once shared
In the garden of our dreams
and the Creator made for us
this perfect Eden
giving us natural rhythms
Which flow within us
Oceanic sounds to resonate
all through our lives
As heartbeats
Make music
in the spiritual bridge
between mother and child
Ripples within our minds
Soft music to our souls
Gentle cries are heard
As our cleansing tears
Are released and fall
through forever falling dusts
Of stars giving birth
Amidst the sounds of life
Which echo
in the wind and rain
As sparkling embers
of the sunlight
make sparks In reflections
upon a mountain stream
and as we pray
and dream of Heaven
to our hearts delight
as We share in the glow
Faces lit as if by campfires
Across the arc of time
ripples in reflection
Through countless dimensions
to resonate through
so many minds
Somehow as we all
seem to know
It's beautiful
to contemplate the love
Which permeates our souls
In embers of hopes and prayers
We could hardly ever learn to love
If even Live without
