The witness


The witness

If we might only
in midst of sadness
pain or despair..
Become a witness and
acknowledge hurt's presence..
Remain still without intention
 to remove or replace..
Then pay attention
to this witness who
has now appeared
and seems to contain
but remains separate
calm and clear..
The journey now
at midpoint
 what is there more..
The witness turns now
to the sadness
pain and despair..
Recognizing at last
these constricted 
limbs of itself...
