Into The Light

A short poem about walking into the light and taking the path laid out before you.

-Into The Light-
by
Keaton Foster



Do you see
Dare believe
Into the light
No longer
Darkness and fright
Is it death
Relevance suggest
But it’s something more
An eternal escape
A ladder going up
A staircase going down
Such a final place
Defined before this day
Repentance means nothing
Absolution won’t reduce
The direction that stands apparent
Understanding will weight you down
But you have no choice
Into the light
You must go
For better or worse
Means nothing
Escape is your only god
Your master of the end
Fearless and willing
To take you where it is
That you alone must go
Those who remain
Will be saddened in many ways
They will never know
Of your fate and your way
A ladder going up
A staircase going down
A direction that you must take
There is only one choice
One path to be traversed
And long before today
It was chosen by you
And the decisions that you have made
Into the light you must go
The first step will be the hardest
Each one after that is something else…
