Analysis of Time capsule
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
Frozen in the teardrops…
Time capsules …
forming in my eyes
As my emotions
flowing,
become crystallized
in the memories,
these moments …
pictures
of what my heart is going thru
begin to materialize…
Teardrops
merge and pool together
in a river,
Drift
from a raging stream…
over,
into a waterfall…
As I fall helplessly
into a dream…
in freefall
i give you my heart
till i have nothing left to give,
as continuous
as my love for you is,
i have become lost
and i
put this message in a bottle
cast into the sea,
praying that you
will find it in your heart
to answer me
if only in our dreams
And set my soul at ease…
As the time capsule
