A calm space

Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)



Picture A glorious sunrise  

Newborn The illusions of a new rising sun  

Bound On an earthly tract Returning with promise

Majestic clouds painting dawning skies

A flurry of activity in ways profound

Dimensions of Time-Space renewed

Awakening a sleepy countryside
Back to life

A place where Sights Smells Colors abound

Eyes following A bird in flight

Each moment A snapshot  

in the day to day wonder

Of life
