a witness

Ever seen something you’d like to share with others, but they just can’t quite see it, can’t quite understand what you are trying to say to them?
Sometimes the explaining isn’t enough. Some things which are beyond us, can only be seen or apprehended by walking there, walking through a place or and experience. For some things you just have to be there. Come let us walk together, and see what we shall see.

a witness

I have been there
I am walking there
and would like you to see
what I am seeing

I would like you to see
what is so close
to you
I would like you to see
an invitation extended
by Life, the party’s host
a hand delivered invite
there
at your feet

I would like you to see
differently
further into yourself
others
and Love,
who is at the base of all things
and to begin to find
Life’s way of walking with
rather than so alone

but come
please
and lets walk together for a time
and let the real one
embrace us
in our stumbling attempts
at authenticity

come
our poem is not finished yet
