witness poem

witness 
© rabbi menachem creditor 
in support of #MarchForOurLives 

gazing with tearful eyes
i witness
pure potential, boundless love
colors yet unchosen, taking form... 

feeling with a privileged heart
i sit surrounded
by tweeted headlines 
so much needless loss
not far away. here. now. 

the unbearable silence 
drives me outside
where a picnic bench silently invites

a little girl dances over to let me know she's having cucumber and a sandwich for lunch. 

life. please God, life. 
let the music play...
