Nothing is as it always was and always will be. No matter what I do, I just won't escape. |
-Never Did I See- by Keaton Foster Never Did I see That Which I Came to see Not because Of blindness Not because My eyes Were closed Not because I was afraid Never Did I see That which I needed to Because It was not there Not present In this world Of many Somethings It remains As before A nothing A blank space When all else Are overfilled A void In my mind A hole In my very soul A nothing That can never be Undone Picture perfect Seemingly Is this existence Minus The one piece That could bring It all into view Absent The one truth Above all else That is needed Never Did I see Because it Is both there And nowhere A deep openness Cratering my mind An expansive wasteland In my very soul Never Can it be filled Nothing is empty Yet it takes up space Vast amounts Of what could be Only leaving behind What won’t be Never Did I see Because All that’s there Is nothing Precise And clear Regardless If I were blind And if my eyes Were closed What is there And what is not Would still be Exactly the same Nothing changes It is as always The same as before The same forevermore… Never Did I see Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2015. |
