Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
It’s an enigma
Taking this leap of faith
An exciting escape
from the usual fate
To become free
of the stigma in the dance
Which is placed upon
those who don’t prescribe
To steps
in such manner
which has been prescribed
As the social norm
But if you’re not down with that
Treated as if you mean to do them harm
Though, you were born and bred
to be fair and true
To rise above the clouds,
although it’s not allowed
You chose differently.
To do and be the one
whose destiny
is decided By heart and soul
Perhaps fate
Which you do not
perceive as real
Not simply
a game of chance
No cosmic
roulette wheel
Under the influence of moods
Triggered
by Something much
Much bigger
You who follow
your own North Star
And pay attention well
Trusting Not to chance
You Who did not
Come to fail
