A poem about finding faith in a life where it was once impossible. |
-All My Feelings Rose Today- by Keaton Foster All my feelings rose today Far beyond this place Far beyond my shape Out into the clear blue Out beyond all that I Am sure is the truth Into a realm of absolutes Past my mind, and its physical ties To a higher plane, a realm of infancy Where all that I was sure I knew Was stripped away and replaced With something I knew nothing of A kingdom of questions to be answered In such a place, such a nubile state I was shown what God intended The purpose of his interdiction Before me, like pages in a book Were all the days of my life Those lived and those to come I read each line, studied each detail Embraced every nuance I was shown it all except the last page I was brought to the end of it all But not allowed to see any more Closed up tight, and placed up high I would never know what was to be I would only come to know what could be God reached out and grabbed my soul With the force of all his might He took hold, making a fist In that second I was at his mercy He could have further crushed me But instead he threw me back Like an angry child, throwing a rock Back down to earth Back down to my skin and bones The impact was great, the significance Of such an expression was enough My body and I again became one I returned from death, I was alive All of my feelings rose today All that I was sure I could never do Became easier than I had ever knew Faith, the once impossible mountain No longer stands as an obstacle But has become a monument to what is possible Hand over fist, I climbed to the peak I stood above the past Never again will I judge the sky Never again will I cry My soul, my role, my purpose All made right, through God and his might Out into the blue, I know that he Has retuned me for a reason To finish the last page of a book No longer at its end But rather halfway written… All My Feelings Rose Today Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2012. |
