Levitate

- Levitate-
by Keaton Foster



Cohabitate
The space
Then levitate
All that is waste
Rise everything up
All of what’s
To be destroyed
To a greater height
Than ever before
Say a prayer
To any God of choice
Offer your condolences
Repeatedly express
All that you lament
Hate
Oh what a waste
What a delay
Busy work for idle hands
Tempestuous sidelines
For those deep in the game
Don’t ever again be fooled
Be a stronger human being
For yourself and all else
Examples will be sown
Wise choices to be known
Some can learn
From all that is offered
Some can make it better
The impossible
Is never really impossible
But rather a chosen state
Of implausibility hand picked
By those few upon the edge
Looking deeper into an abyss
Feeling and thus expressing
What if I just step
Leap to my perilous doom
Twisting the hand of fate
In their own tedious way
What if I just go
Where no one
Ever again comes back from
Will I be sorely missed
Will those who remain
Somehow be remiss
In regard to what’s left
Or to what’s now lost
Twisted is the logic
Of those standing so close
To an end of no return
Few can understand
And ever live to speak
Of such an understanding
Be nothing like them
Aspire to avoid that conundrum
You are somehow better
Somehow more capable
A well-crafted mistake
Played out for the ages
A nonsensical nuance
Fighting against those
Increasingly darker forces
Winning a small victory
For yourself and the species
That’ll show all of them
Levitate
Way above all that is pain
Beyond all that shames
Up where there’s no weight
To a place when and where
All that once was has gone
And all that is to remain
Has yet to be written
Make your life
The very foundation
Of your individual creation
Part of a greater equation
A small splinter of something
Beyond all perceivable magnitude
Levitate
All that made you before
Throw it down
From a height not retrieved
Never again pick it up
Be something more
Of significantly less weight
Never again carry any loads
Or be burden my mistakes
Find that place beyond
Where it is you now reside
Go there and never again
Come back to all that has
And will keep you here…
