THE DOES MATTER

by W. Mahlon Purdin


Wishing hard that I could tell you my truth
That it doesn't matter the visual
That it doesn't matter the not loved
That it doesn't matter the I'm alone
Wishing hard that I could take you in
Where all that matters the love feeling
Where all that matters the giving
Where all that matters the knowing
That we are not alone ever
That we love because love is
That being is about beauty
And forms and visuals are
Like flower petals all nestled
Closer in the beginning spreading
Only to bloom and glorifying
Each little looking closer and closer
Until there is our truth again
We are together what alone we can never be
In those places we hide and
Think we are alone.
It doesn't matter the I'm just me
The I'm horrible and ugly
The I wish I were like everyone else.
The we are all in this together is
The does matter.

Really just marvelous to follow your turn of phrases here and to see your directing the we to what does matter. Thank you for this.
