Echoes, in the tides
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
Even stars Up in the heavens Would be like us
If they only knew What it’s like to be friends
together
Finding ways to help one another
Sharing times Despite the whether
We are who we are...
Our differences Project an aura
which becomes our depth of dimensions
Make like Real life reflections projections
focused somewhere within our thoughts
Seeing little Of forever a particle of perception
only what self-reflections echo in our minds
we've been taught a story some call history
Reflections countless struggles of our kind
A freedom has been bought
at such cost it staggers the imagination
even to grasp where so inclined
although Still we’re almost blind
When it’s beyond eternity
we must be content
to see it all as best we can
Women and men together
who in Raising families
of loving entities
Creating societies
In the echoes of a greater love
Becoming a heaven As most of us believe
In our life and minds
Resonating As we pulse and glow
Each in turn Adrift in a sea many of a kind
in the universal ocean
of time/space
blessed to be sharing
A passion for life
In this space
and time
