"Love is what matters when reality shatters leaving / Only a black hole where the mirror used to be"


Poem Artwork

What Matters

I have come a long way but had a long way to go
And am still going and coming so I cannot see
If I am there yet or if I get there how to know
Where there is if where there is has specificity

What we always thought could never be is probably what
Will be because of something like the sense of humor of
A universe of multiversal serendipity
As we remember things we never knew and yet forgot

It all comes back to us and now it all comes back to me
I never knew what it was if always what it was not
But the purpose of the exercise turns out to be love
Which turns out to be everything our source and destiny

Love is what matters when reality shatters leaving
Only a black hole where the mirror used to be
When life is disjointed and I am disappointed in
Everything else love will never stop believing

I have come a long way but it took awhile to begin
To stop caring about broken mirrors and such
When life is disjointed I am not disappointed (much)
The first to the finish is not the one to win

And I believe in love as the only thing I know
I have come a long way but have a long way to go
