Best Witnessing Poems


Premium Member Solar-Lunar Wonder

Under the broad sweep of endless sky,
In that rare and hallowed moment
When the moon, in audacious stealth,
Edges before the sun,
A quietude descends, profound and deep.

The air, thick with anticipation,
Holds its breath;
The earth, in its tireless orbit,
Pauses—in reverence 
To the grandeur to which we all belong.

This spectacle, this dance of light and shadow,
Where the day is night and the sun is dark,
Unveils the universe’s unfathomable mystery,
A reminder of our fleeting passage
In the boundless march of time.

As the corona flares,
A crown of light, ethereal and untouchable,
Encircles the shadowed moon—
A garnered glimpse into the sun’s hidden majesty.
In this moment, we are but specks,
Yet infinitely connected to the cosmic ballet.

This eclipse, eagerly awaited, a miracle witnessed,
Serves not just as a meeting of celestial bodies,
But as a bridge across the void,
Linking heart to heart, soul to soul,
To the very essence of existence itself.

In awe, we stand,
Observers of the universe’s embrace,
Witnesses to the endless dance
Of light and shadow,
Of time and space,
And the quiet, enduring marvel
That is life, in its myriad forms and fleeting beauty.

Premium Member Cemetery Witnessing

In the late 1970s I was a bricklayer, and for about half a year we worked in a new housing allotment along a state highway in Ohio.  There were towns in the area, and a small city about 10 miles away, but at the time this was still countryside.  15 or 20 of the houses had their lots right on the highway, and across the road was a cemetery.  As we worked, we could see all the traffic going along the road. 

One guy we saw every day.  He was a small man, an older man, though it was hard to say if he was in his 50s, or 60s or even 70s.  In the early afternoon he'd come down the road, and turn into the cemetery. After a time - usually about an hour - he'd leave, and this was 7 days a week, regardless of weather.  The easy guess was that he was visiting his dead wife's grave. 

He sat absolutely still in the car, and the car made almost no sound.  It was a small, light Plymouth or Chrysler, colored gray.  Must have had a small, smooth engine - you could hardly hear anything.  He always wore a hat, a light tan color, and his shirts were light gray or off-white.  He drove slowly, staring straight ahead.  That's what I really remember about him, the sense of slowness, quiet, an almost infinitely light touch upon the world.

Premium Member Witnessing the Miracle of Birth

I
stared as
she lay on
her side struggling
to accomplish what nature demanded.
I was seven--wide-eyed and curious.
She was straining.
Then out came
a small
wet
glob--
and four
more! Mama
Kitty cleaned her
babies lovingly. What a happy day!

Premium Member Witnessing Earth's Wedding

We
richly green mountains
of germinating
Jeremiah prophetic strength

Before we formed you
in our valleyed womb,
we knew you

Before you came to life
rebirthed
we consecrated your humane species

We witness your
polycultured prophecy
to Earth's linguistic continents

We transubstantiate
and thereby bless
this sacred grace
taking late summer's place
in cooperative ecofeminist space

Beyond merely humane reflections
back upon our ancient organic roots
and verdant face

Resisting degreening States
of monocultural disgrace,

Restoring humane humility
before and after
our primal longing
for deeply resonant
resilient co-gravitation

Stronging for a safe
and healthy
Holy Pinnacled
panentheistic race
toward our more therapeutic
rivered valleys

Away from terrifying
mountainous 
overwhelming
disenchanted layered stacks
of inhumane trauma,
undivine disgrace.

We witness
this polyculturing faith
in lucid
limned Lucian integrity
undisplaced

Harboring this grass mowed meadow
in-between luminous
latticed fertile mountains
interpenetrating sensory valleys
flowing out
down deep
root systems,
family networks,
Earthly primal grace

Longing to complete
what Father Sun's enlightenment
celebrates

Witnessing MotherEartha's
richly responsible respect
uneffaced

ConCelebrating Earth's matrimonial majesty
co-habitating late summer's holy
co-empathic witness
of eternal
sacramental weddings

Formed in mountainous wombs
passionately repurposed
played and danced
sung through spoken words
wedding webbed time 
unreplaced
in this most sacred 
witness space.


Witnessing Road Kill

Walking down sidewalk
Watching cars pass by and by
Looks from side to side

In dismay looks down
Now hating every roadster 
Death smears on one tire

Premium Member Witnessing In the Mall

I'm at the mall
waiting for my new lenses
to find their inside home
in my old outside frames,

Hopefully
not like new wine
in old 
opaque skins.

I try to engage
with an anthro-war story,
"The Invisible Woman"

Feeling myself silently camouflaged
in a sedate sitting area
sparsely inhabited only by my eyes 
searching
and ears 
spying

Listening for what invisible witnesses
hear
and empathically feel

"In wartime,
trusting the wrong person
can prove fatal."

How much safer is trust
in peace time?
anthro-dominated
industriously capitalized.

Does living Earth
even feel like peace time?

Or Business As Usual
domestic abuse,
neglect,
silent, but not really nonviolent,
atrophy?

Degenerating entropy?
of a human child's boundless curiosity,
enthusiastic health,
win/win wellbeing
panentheistic luminosity.

"Virginia...
will do everything in her power
to avenge the brave people
she lost."

Is the only important difference
between brave patriotic people
and innocent victims of autocracy
a sacred v democratic division?
between anxious war
sacredly declared
and every shopping day
peace deal making
between secularized
competing consumer commodifying diplomats

Perpetually undeclaring
rights of conscientious
personal bodies
to remain innocent
of ballistic 
nihilistic 
trauma producing
and stress consuming intent.

Is hero-worship the only moral distinction
between society's righteous reactionary revenge
and personal power's need,
want,
self-righteous entitled greed
to avenge?

"Virginia knows,
now more than ever,
that failure is not an option."

A lot of pressure
stress
fear
anger
internal oppression
when mortality
and disempowering defeat
and disabling wounds
physical and mental,
natural and spiritual,
are not an option

When power is a weapon
wielded over OtherTribes
and cannot be a tool
kindly and carefully offered
without Othering.

Like seeing
with win/win restorative lenses
in old win/lose traumatized
Business As Usual
anthrosupremacist frames

For spying how exhausted I am
by silently witnessing 
uncivil
anthro-war stories.

Premium Member We'Re Witnessing a Travesty

We're Witnessing a Travesty
By Franklin Price
9/13/2016

We're witnessing a travesty
In congress on this day
They've done it many times before
Must always have their say

A hearing on the server
That was used by Hillary
The FBI resolved it
Congress will not let it be

Congress is wasting money
It's not budgeted to spend
It's a  judiciary decision
To resolve it in the end

Congress hasn't done their job
For  many many years
They're not the judge and jury
The Constitution makes that clear

All the witnesses plead the fifth
Was the greatest thing to see
The hearing's going nowhere
Which is where it ought to be

Whether or not corruption
Brought the hearing to the floor
Next time take it to the courts
And not to Congress any more

Witnessing Mermaids

passive agression
schizoid fantasy
she seemed patient
like green earth
quiet and withdrawn
like a hermit
interjection of thoughts
projection of wants
red wine
we are walking
white sand spreading
music of the heightening
waves capsizing
the fortress of black
rock
distorted emotions
conversion of sublimed
lust
we are uniting
union of ecstasy
blessed
witnessing mermaids

Who am I without You, witnessing Me

Does every child break their mothers heart? Or is it just for us? 
The infrequent visits leaves gaps and years apart
Newly bought towels and sheet sets. Neatly folded and folded again with love and care.
 Placed lovingly and rearranged in time of wait. 
Anticipation.  That’s were the love shows, too big to express.

The dreaming, planning and expectations built up. 
The wistful longings of Christmas's together, that could have been but never was. 
The laughter and running after grandkids in endless summer days, tired of their long visits, that didn’t come through. 
The places never visited, the activities that never came to be. 
The hope to share each others day. The trials and the  tribulations. 

The words never spoken, the love barely confessed. The heartache and the sadness never expressed. 

My childhood was filled with joy, love and magic. My love is deep and true. My days lived without you, yet you are so so close.
Leaving wasn’t about you. 

The life we didn’t live is a whisper and eco in my days. The roads we didn’t go and the paths we didn’t take. 

They are speaking to me today load and clear
 In one of them we would go hand in hand and share everything 
We would share it all

Letting Go and Calmly Witnessing All

Letting Go and Calm Witnessing

When U have no solution
You tried it all; Fate Insists you fall. You no longer stand tall
Such moments come often
We try to forget the falls - feeling nothing, helps find your nobodyness
If we hold up a "failure at Solution"
That moment is a mix of doing nothing AND "doing along" with the Universe 
When you felt nobody cares (loss of attention)
That mix of nobody with everybody, Multiverse
Is deep insight: becoming nobody makes us everybody with Universe

BACKGROUND: I was a Hindu as one born into such a family in South Africa may be a Hindu, away from India. This meditation is similar in the impetus to Jesus's frequent TWIST of OPPOSITES in the New Testament. The high will be brought low; the meek shall inherit the earth - or more; dying is the way to real living: mainly Matthew 5, 6, 7 or The Sermon on the Mount.

Let us cite a few examples from Paul: I am strong when I am weak; I can do nothing but in Christ I can do anything and everything --
2 Corinthians 12:10 and 2 Corinthians (Epistle) 4:7.
Shalom, shalom to Great Harrys & Marys, Vijays & Ordinarys. LuvYa

Witnessing
By: Miracle Man
6/4/2023

Sometimes from our simplest act of serving,
we influence others within the sound of voice.
We should never question whether deserving,
Because God didn’t cede any man that choice.

Sometimes our words 
Have a great impact on the life of another.
Tom

40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

Witnessing Beauty

There,
upon the edge of fantasy,
it seems,
she stands
looking out
over the placid lake.
I stand,
just watching her
and taking in
the magnificence
of her fitting with nature
as beauty becomes
one.
Be it a dream
or be it real,
I pray this scene
never leaves
my eyes
nor my mind.

Witnessing For Our Lord

Not even Wild horses can keep me away
From what I need to tell everyone today
Come Spread God’s Word across the land
Do it now for Time is at hand

I’ve written a poem 
Accepting Christ
I’ve already did this
Long time ago in my life

I want others to know 
How to be born-again
Before it’s to late 
In all life comes to an end

So come to Jesus Christ
Ask for forgiveness of your sins
Become Born-again
Receive Eternal life with Him
Our Lord Our Savior Jesus Christ
