Out There

A unique poem about thoughts and ideas existing in a place know to me as "Out There"

-Out There-
by
Keaton Foster



Not here
Not there
Someplace else
Somewhere
In the distance and
Simultaneous proximity
Sort of
Kind of
In reference to
Requiring explanation
Needing exploration
Even then
Way beyond understanding
Not easily illuminated
Never once ignored
Left to the imagination
What could be
Certainly what is
And what is not
Remains to be seen
Out there is the place
Home for ideas yet exposed
A fertile existential ether
That knows no limits
The nether reaches of experiences
Pouring down from above
Rising up from below
Such a distinction
Is a matter of perspective
Open your eyes and see
Expose your mind and believe
Out there is a place
As real as anywhere else
You may have never been
Then again
Maybe it is your home
Your skin and bones
Maybe your mind is capable
Maybe it’s not just people like me
That can see beyond what is seen
Out there
Not here
Not there
Someplace else
Somewhere
A place where anything
And everything is possible…
