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...

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,...

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 ...

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)...

Premium Member Being A Witness
Concerns sit out there on the periphery, the suffering and misery of wars, deaths by disasters be it by natural or human causes, the reckless diminution of forests - all creep like shadows across the face of the earth. What can I do but be a witness and add a frail voice to a powerless chorus calling out from under the heel of wealth...

It is Me
I am the witness, the eternal witness, of the universe where stars are born and raised in effulgence, where vast empty spaces teem with celestial bodies, where the planet of life spins, a marvel of intelligence amidst the cosmic expanse. I stand at the intersection of past, present, and future, bound by names and actions,...

Premium Member No One Walks Alone
She walked through the Valley of Death, As a loved one was laid to rest, One of pure spiritual wealth, Witness endured every true test. Feeling alone and so depressed, Slowly walked away with head bowed, Heart was hurting under great distress, Dread hung over like a dark shroud. Approaching the path toward home, Heard a noise coming from behind, Strange, she thought everyone had...
