Inertia
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
It is not just speculation
Knowing, if you should decide
Whether to be taking chances
here with me,
which you would not ordinarily
be inclined otherwise
to do with anybody else.
i hope
Merely speculation,
As i observe you
showing in signs
Both of your
confidence and fear.
This proven not
merely as a respite
In the hard fought battle
between us And our wills.
Although, it’s instrumental
to our sense of purpose
To relate. Seeing how
it accentuates
My confidence
in our common grounds
Firmly implanted
with an appreciation
And respect for
your dreams and mine,
Our relative stability
The inherent ability
we have to get along
with one another
as you consistently
inspire me,
Now further along,
into taking this chance
at loving life
with you
