"Because we do"


Poem Artwork

So it Does

So if it matters then it does
And if it does not then so what
It does not matter if I do not mind
A dream I had but then forgot

If it is like it never was
It only matters if I mind
And I do not

What matters to my mind is other minds
Especially those still open to know
Before before becomes behind
Which cannot be prevented but who try
That this is always a good time to grow
And get to know our humankind

Whatever matters objectively
If there is such a thing
We know what matters to you and me
Better than anything
We mind what matters to us you and I

So one who said he does not finds
The one who matters is the one who minds
Who feared being disappointed before
But now what matters matters more

We need each other it turns out to be
And need to know that we are not alone
That we matter to minds beyond our own
That human solidarity
Is what you need as much as me

So if it matters then it does
And if it does not then so what
And we will love us just because
We matter whether it matters or not
Remembering a dream we had but then forgot

And it is like it always was
It only matters if we mind
Matters of us me and you
So it does because we do

So it does
Because we do

Oh wow! I'm thinking it doesn't matter...well...or...does it? Oh I guess it only matters if we mind. This is a good write! I love it!

Peace,
