- Great work. This poem can have a lot of meanings. In Steemit "witness" is a big word as we can vote for 30 "witnesses." The Greek origin of the word is the same as martyr. It means that they will die for their testimony or give their life for the testimony. I'm beginning to realize that some of the witness candidates on Steemit are actually giving their life for the future of Steemit.
"Angels lifted his feet from the sole"
- this shows me that the angel took the witness away. It seems that the witness here was shot by a sniper and the sniper had his throat cut from a backstabbing betrayer.
The poem ends,
"When is too late?"
- This seems to be a call to end all backstabbing and "killing" of those who stand for the truth. It also questions when is the end of the grudge and retaliation. It is deeply rooted human history and ends with forgiveness. I'm sorry the world is in the state it is but more than that I'm sorry for the selfishness and belligerence of human nature. Please forgive me if I did you any harm.
Peace to you

I'm so ecstatic to see you posting on my blog again!!! Thank you so much for visiting!
Your analysis is quite correct :) The sniper had been taking shots at all of the targets, and a witness saw him but was saved by an angel as the sniper decided to not shoot..The voice from behind is mysterious - perhaps it is a backstabbing.... I'm sorry if I have done anyone any wrong - I pray for forgiveness daily knowing what my ancestors have done.
Yeah, let's witness the progression we create - let's sacrifice for it!
Peace to you,
William
Yes. That is sure. Forgiveness and love are a greater power. I know who I am and who my ancestors were and know we are in this together.
About your blog the words stand alone, but how about adding one picture from public domain or something from your phone or camera?
Yes thank you for the reminder - I certainly need to take more pictures ! Expect my next post to have at least three pictures!!
I just successfully added a picture to my last Haiku blog :) Gorgeous Mt.Bonnell
