Sun rise

Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)



Like children we are judged
By what we fail to understand

Causes us to suffer
Prayers Ascending

In Need Even though the question
if God is there for us to see as we believe

We do more than coexist,
by chance finding more than answers

As spirits dance among us
Freely giving hope

A faint wind carries living streams

If fortune smiles upon the world
We also will be its hosts

As others come before us
Have given their lives for us

to come to this In a gentle mist
As we receive their blessings

Life is testing our resolve
Demanding our all

Still we resist the gift
Wrapped up in love

Lightly descending drizzle
Calling

Where are we now?

 Loves dreams
With each new horizon

starlight falling upon
me and my love

Sparkling morning dew
kisses blades of grass

Soft reflections in your eyes
melt away the sharp edges

We are shadow dancers.
Spirits hear us

Drawing our loved ones closer
Hovering about our lives Like fireflies

ever more near to us
Sharing warmth of mutual delight,

When we find ourselves together

With more loving understanding
Than otherwise we might
