There are some poems that are just quite difficult to write, this would be one. |
-Reconstructing Deconstruction- by Keaton Foster Building up Caving in Bringing together Tearing apart One Easily becomes two But then two Hellishly becomes None All happening under A singular sun An age old affair Of both heart and mind A mother and her child The creator and the created Both being given an unwanted gift What a hell of a thing Victims becoming victimizers Sadist turning into masochist Survival has and will always be paramount The only thing that has ever mattered A preponderance of terrible circumstances Has created a dismal divide Between a mother and her child Such a divide is bordered by an Impassible bastion of many terrible lies Such unclaimed space Is a wondrous chance within our fate Somehow it must be bridged Somehow brought together again What was once wrong Must be again made right Only through example Will God lends us the power To forgive those gravest of sins Through such forgiveness Will come a mountain of understanding To be broken into pieces And then reassembled Spanning the distance I am alive and she is dead I am here and she is there The separation quite clear From this place I can see Into the depths of her eyes The endless tears still flow She is sorry for all that she did When she was most alive Before her tragic death Her and I could never find An appropriate way to reconnect We never had the strength To say what needed to be said Time burned away as pride Always keeping reconciliation aside No longer is that the case Time holds no weight Only distance divides us now Reconstructing deconstruction Is the only way to gap The space between us Surreal our chances now seem While down below she sleeps Up above she sits in peace God gave her a chance And so must I Forgiveness is the only way To her such words I must somehow say Rebuilding our relationship Through forgiveness given Long after her tragic death And the severe consequences Of our troubling relationship… Reconstructing Deconstruction Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2013 |
