Across The Seven

-Across The Seven-
by Keaton Foster


Witness
Across the seven
Here we are
Living
Seeing nothing
We are not blind
Just well defined
Open your eyes
Focus big and wide
You’ll see it
Thus believe in it
There is nothing less
And everything more
All is yours
Just as it is now mine
For many of decades
A lifetime of waste
I too was blind
Everything I refused
I hated it all
Even though
I knew nothing more
Then the confines
Of my heart and soul
I walked away from faith
I turned my back
On the idea of a creator
Instead I insisted
That all humans
Most of all me
Were just happenstance
Just fundamental accidents
One step ahead
Of all other species
Animals with no cage
Beast with no souls
Capable of almost anything
I felt such a way
Because I had been shown
Such a way
I was forced to see it
Twisted reality did seem
All of my pain
Every ounce of my shame
Hung heavy upon my soul
I was without question lost
But then one day
Something changed
A new day came
And with it
Transformation
Across the seven
Such change has remained
Such a way has become mine
God reached out for me
And I reached back
We became as one
All that I was sure I knew
Was indeed quite wrong
I have since learned
I have since been educated
What I knew before
Is somehow no more
Now there is something new
Something that I now believe
More than ever before
Across the seven…
