Something Beautiful To Say

-Something Beautiful To Say-
by Keaton Foster


All that I want
All that I wish
Is beyond
All that I love
And all that I miss
All that my life is
And has now become
Is
Something beautiful to say
An expression
Lacking transgression
A much truer statement
Devoid of exaggeration
Something
That will live
Beyond me
And my tragic existence
Something
That will define life
Beyond
All that is definable
Something
That will be immortalized
The truest essence of an idea
That goes beyond all reproach
Words and or lines
That no being alive
Could ever find a way
To combine
Or to take apart
The perfect perfection
Of all understanding
Simply written
By me
Each night that comes
I pray to the God
That I should believe
I ask for the wisdom
To know what to say
For that one line
That one verse
That will change
All that to me
Is irreparable
I ask him for the heart
And for the mind
To understand
Why he gave me this life
And if what I’m doing
Is by his design or mine
Never does he answer
His silence echoes
In the hollowest parts
Of my mind and soul
The next morning
I sit right here and stare
Deep into the white abyss
Counting the blinking indication
Of immortality in waiting
Insisting the words to flow
For the truth of further grow
But instead there are only lies
More than any man could wish
More than any human
Could ever come to regret
Thousands on my way
Towards that one finite truth
That one obligatory absolute
One line or verse that no one
Alive or to ever live
Could stand in opposition to
My
Something beautiful to say
And again
It eludes me on this day
Or so does it seem
I’ll spend forever right here
Doing what to me is clear
The name that I was given
Is not this name
That I’m pretending
Years after I’m gone
They’ll find that I
Or at least who I pretend
Never existed at all
But what will remain
Will be unchanged by time
And by all that can be defined
All these words and the ones
That I have yet to write
Immortal versions of waste
Written on my way
Towards
Something beautiful to say
That is what I chase
The meaning to have ever been
I won’t stop until I express it
I’ll never give up until I pen it
Right here until my death
I’ll sit
Waiting for what comes next
The path to infinite bliss
Not mine, but my words
Begins with
A blinking indication
Of immortality in waiting
Something beautiful to say

Someday…
