Co-created Poem


The Empty Bench

An inspirational poem by Julie Carda


Benches are an invitation

Provide a place of relaxation

Offer opportunity for meditation

And add mystery to exploration.


Why place a bench in just such a way

Is it that perhaps at the end of a day

The weary worker, traveler, adventurer may

Have a seat and stay—for a moment.


Then does that bench transform

The guest into a dreamer of reform

With the past, present, future a swarm

Of brilliance above all conform?


And in the end what remains

Are vibrations as bountiful as one hundred cranes

Carrying the dreams like a long stretch of train

Into a universe which gains


Co-created molecular particles

Re-assembled into canticles

Which fill every human receptacle

With a love inspired miracle
