A Splinter In The Sky

-A Splinter In The Sky-
by
Keaton Foster



Lay on your back
Stare at the crack
A splinter in the sky
Ready, ever so ready
To open quite wide
What will pour out
Will it be sadness and doubt
Will it be unquantifiable belief
Will those who see understand
Or will they be left with questions
Unanswerable predicaments
Forever to be faced alone
A new reality mired in duality
Two states within one hypocrisy
Will understanding what is seen
Become our new decree
No longer will we pledge allegiance
Individualism will become our everything
A mountain upon which we alone will stand
Hurling insults from great heights
Down upon those who we are sure are unlike us
Lay on your back
Stare at the crack
A splinter in the sky
Ready, ever so ready
To open quite wide
What will pour out
See for yourself
Understand what it means
Take it deep inside
Hold it next to your heart
Feel each pain filled arc
As what you are certain it is
Burns its way into your soul
Fusing all of your ideas into one reality
A reality from which you
Could never hope to hide
A new perspective that could have only come
From the perilous heavens above
You can see much if you know where to look
You can spot, adjust, and formulate
All that you are
And all that your world represents
But be warned of what you see
What falls down, upon your case
Will affect not only you, but all of us
In many dramatic ways…
