Spiritual
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
Holding on by means
Exceeding
my most extreme power limits
i soon realize…
There’s no disgrace
Calling to a higher power
than i alone
To state my case…
Whenever i need to reinforce
My real and/or imagined strength
Beyond my limited ability
To meet the tasks i am called to undertake
To resist demonic forces at hand
When i must bend before i break
Taken to the place i must make my stand
And pray with whatever wisdom i may find
At the very moment i am called upon
To act upon what challenges Stand before me
As i stand before the divine
And pray beg forgiveness where i may
A gift of insight to light the path
To deliverance
Before darkness clouds my way
Lest i or others be led astray
