Analysis of Beyond this
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
Should it be our crowning achievement
May be finding our love/life mate
With/by whom to mutually express
Expressed in our investment to take part
In the production the fruit of life in passing
This, our spiritual energy our sole endowment
In this the fleeting course
One brief exchange of the creative source
Between the love in/of life
Casting its spark in what has come to be
The blessed seed from which grows
The embryo we were once
In our receipt if we are able
Worthy and blessed to be
Gifted with another life to lead
To assist, as we are able
To shadow, teach, impel to grow
In ways we all too often cannot
Looking past the infancy as
An ancestral outgrowth
We add continuity in flow
Even beyond that which
We may never
know
