Premium Member Character Witness
I wouldn't bother alchemizing language into golden press releases of your own making. It never works long anyway, grapevines get better reception. A dog knows who flinches. Moss grows where one lingers, even silence leaves thumbprints. Say nothing. Say too much. Either way— they’ll know you....

Premium Member The Walks
The Walks It was an honor to hold your hand As you prepared your walk to the other side. This simple act was humbling. To be the last person with you As you took your leave Quietly, gracefully into death. I did not know you But you needed someone present. It just happened that I was there. Assisting life entering our world, Witnessing life as it...

Premium Member you are my witness
I am to one what another is to me. The years press against each other producing sweet nectar drops of time that we have created are gone to past again. I have told you it is so and you are my witness to this ...

Speechless Witness
A silent twin that stretches, shrinks, and sways, A darkened mimic through the sunlit days. No voice to speak, no hand to touch or hold, A phantom presence, stories yet untold. It dances with us in the morning's light, A lengthened figure reaching for its height. At midday's peak, a compact, somber blot, Then lengthens once more, as daylight's fires are shot. It...

Witness Bliss
Chasing after grace, So I can taste , Your bliss. Witness goodness, The Invisible Kiss. Seeking Forgiveness, For this Mess, Within this Reality. As I try to be, My true Me. Your Love all I see, Reflected back at me. Through Everybody, And Everything, Experiencing It's existence. Making a difference, Flowing in Resistance. As persistence, Carries the distance. I catch your Glance, And Chance after Chance, I dance knowing this. I AM the Witness, Carrying your bliss. The Visible...

Premium Member The Court Appearance
Can I testify?, Or would better be a lie. No love is shown for his repeated crime. Can I testify? The gallows lurk for Destiny's dark climb. Behold, the clock is running out of time. Can I testify?, Or would better be a lie. ...

Premium Member A silent witness
Bound to the bark, it drank the rain, And spread tendrils again and again Unnoticed beauty, soft and deep, While hurried, humans let affection sleep They rush on by, with eyes averted, A quiet presence, quite deserted Their gaze on blossoms, bright and bold, My subtle story left untold But I persisted, strong and still, My purpose held against their will I nourished life, unseen,...

Premium Member Without Words Which May Displease
How then shall I show love for our sisterhood? Our mother’s baby birthed on this joyous day A festive time with wishes ‘happy’ and good No balloon filled room, cake, gifts on display Belief systems stand first it’s well understood So, in all due respect and come what may ...

Premium Member Witness the Melting Snow
And by the pristine fallen snow That shimmers like stars in the night My heart emits a fervent glow Brought on by this crystalline sight For I've witnessed long Winters past From my childhood unto this day Like life, I knew it'd never last Watching it slowly melt away...

WITNESSES
The bed will testify of what you did on it. The wall’s silent ears. Foreclosed window eyes. Onomatopoeia from door’s Half opening mouth, The night you switched off the light Drew all blinds but darkness stood there as a witness, watching you and your sins. Alade Blessing ...

Sometimes humans, sometimes not
Sometimes we are humans, sometimes not. Witnesses are the past and the present occurrences of the world. Witnesses are the endless time and the greatest human beings of this earth. Sometimes they are humans, sometimes not. (12.17.2024)...
