For me writing has only ever been about the words, the meaning and what will be left |
- A Single Thought In Time- by Keaton Foster Frozen here Almost there Nowhere So very clear Between my mind Down my spine Through my heart At my finger tips A single thought in time Within clarity I continue to ponder What is written down What is coming next And what is after that Like a picture In my expansive head Entire poems Long before written Are clearly spelled out I know what to say I understand how to convey I live for the page The words and their meaning I see them like frozen frames In a movie always playing Once I write them out They don’t disappear But rather they are cleared Making room for the next But at any time wished I can bring them back up Minutes, days, months, decades Time matters least of all They are there Just as they were The day that they Made the journey From my mind Down my spine Through my heart Out of my finger tips A single thought in time To be expressed Then if need be recalled For all of the days that remain I will write them out I will express what I’m all about And what I see outside My fortress of fear and doubt When I’m dead No longer suffering as I am No longer worrying about Things that cannot be controlled I’ll be at a certain level of peace But these words unleased Will forever go on Both causing damage And repairing what’s broken The movie in my head Will be played again and again No longer by me but by you Those outside my skin Those beyond my certain death You’ll enjoy the show And in the end You might come to know But if you don’t I won’t be here To hold it against you How could I ever Take what you can from my words Find meaning in the beauty Of all that I aspire to A single thought in time Is what I am here to offer As they come I’ll place them In the order of the script That God above has given me This is my gift from him to you Via this page and my very soul There are days that is does not feel That I am making any difference But then there are others When I feel a difference Is what I will leave behind Here A single thought in time… A Single Thought In Time Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2014. |
