Forever
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
So ever onward we sail
following currents
In the mainstream of existence
Led by motions
Which have been
both born and bred in spirit
By will act in an aura
Which prevails
despite one’s best attempts
to otherwise influence
That which truly is only
a pathway of destiny
Formed so perfectly
So elementally simplistic
Characteristically
undergoing Alteration
in continuity with laws
Naturalistically divine
Inspired in times
Oft unrepentantly by storm
Amidst seas of doubt
As to our most
Benevolent choices
In belief
The chosen fare well
Though wind
In waves
which dwarf
Any skillful influences
brought
More clearly into focus
As our sails
are filled
Thus,
we travel on
Forever
