Even if he is gone, his life and why he was here will always have meaning. |
-Departed- by Keaton Foster Please Get him Started All faith Departed His fate Has been Sounded Hear him No one And nothing He’s in tune Acutely aware Vibrancy To spare These words Unto themselves They’ll fall Downward Into a world Heading upward Some will say That he was crazy Few will suggest That he himself Was amazing And that he Was brave Not insane Well aware Lacking fear He was all And nothing Enthralled In one ball Wound so tight That which was meant By the likes of him Could take A lifetime to shape Like a hamster In a wheel He spun along Chasing down His feast What was needed For survival Sustenance Via tragic Circumstances Pinned To his chest Driven Into his heart Never Should have he Been allowed But against Those with tape Those with hate He rose up He stood true Spelled it all out For those so few To see and believe As real as can be Meant to be felt As if They themselves Were there Present witnesses Accountable inferences Changed by what Was experienced Departed Now he’s gone Left long Taken away Replaced In a sad way Never will there be Or should there be Another like him His faith None existent His fate Upon these pages He could not change But he could indeed Change many others He wanted them to see To feel It all through words Ones penned Ones to be lived These many expressed He may be gone But who he was And why he was Will live on… Departed Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2015. |
