Sails of evermore
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
Shafts of sun beams create an unworldly scene
Brightly to make their presence known
Against a backdrop
Of dark and silvery white billowing clouds
An expression i cannot hope to duplicate,
Merely suggest its majesty,
Magnificent as it appears to me
As emotions touching vast and deep,
Parting pathways through the clouds
In random formations
Like sailing ships masts
Cutting through the mists of fog
Or star fields far above and beyond
On a distant journey
Through universal oceans of eternity
These endless days and nights with cloud trails following foretelling winds which carry our souls
To other worlds beneath the stars
Without speaking just to say
This is our spirits flowing through
To a common destination
Streams of life beaming down from above
Carried between the hopes and dreams
Of me and you
