To a place of peace is where I fight to take all of you. |
-Don’t Fear- by Keaton Foster Unafraid No shame Reserving doubt Without clout Stand for something A slide of the hand A twist of the tongue Words on a once blank page Life, what an illusion Begging for something more Be a monochromatic copy Of a litany of other copies Each one just a bit different Then the hundreds before it Some might question the lines Some might inspect the folds Some might add a crease Or bend over the edges Of your clearly defined space Regardless of their time to waste Stand as you are Not as they intend you to be Don’t fear What you can’t see What you can’t perceive Impossible this may seem Advice from a madman Input from a lunatic Standing here on the fringe I know what is both ahead And far behind I understand my location And every possible implication I myself have no fear Because I have nothing else And once you reach this place This intrinsic state of existence Life itself becomes impotent Innocuous and irrelevant Such a place, absolute freedom Mired by nothing human Only the beat of your heart And the expulsion of air Will you come to hear Don’t fear Come close Come near Reach out your hand I will grab hold With a death grip I will never let go Unsure you might become Challenged you might seem Screaming for meaning You might never live to see But then again My pseudo psychosomatic friend What if there is even a chance Don’t you want to take it Don’t fear I would not entice you to such a place To such a beautiful state Unless I was quite certain That such a location is where You needed to be most of all… Don’t Fear Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2013 |
