I, Witness (Original)

I am the watcher
of history and time.
Eternal observer
and witness, I.

Who silently sees
the unfolding of life,
an audience member
and witness, I.

Who sits and who waits
without looking to find,
life archaeologist
and witness, I.

Who asks for nothing
and with nothing is fine,
an earth minimalist
and witness, I.

I just keep watching
and try counting the cries.
Heart bleeding reporter
and witness, I.

When my shift is done
I can avert my eyes,
once again a human
and witness, I.
