A Call to Witness

What if I told you-

you are the witness to my life.

.

Would I be speaking selfishly?

.

Bringing to life,

Humanities resolution

To loneliness strife.

.

Would your soul feel my longing?

.

To bear witness in compassion,

All that will matter

A light in multitude refraction.

.

Would you know it to be true?

.

that incendiary spark,

casting off its' hook of fire

calling like to like.

.

Could I fabricate importance?

.

Turning it to deep affection,

Down the river of existence

I crave your attention.

.

I call you to testify.

.

For shall I again have no witness,

I have little cause but to doubt

.

The ashes of my being-

.

will disperse unbound.
