What Matters

What Matters

This form, carved from the earth

Inanimate, one with itself 

It waits as if to say, I need air

The life force to permeate this form

So I patiently wait for my inhalation

This matter, one with the earth

Is here from which I came 

Ready as ever, am I for exhilation

I'm cold, waiting for warm air

As we kissed, greeted, a warm embrace

The force I needed, now shines in my face

Every organ present reacts in orchestral sound

The rythmn of life inside now flows in my veins

Would I learn to cherish this higher power

Resident here as I look around 

This matter, doesn't matter, just flatter

Would I value equality in every life 

Without it, it's just matter

I will love another as equal

There goes another matter

The road ahead is level for all

To value another as priority

All matter will return as it came

Our substance here, is all the same
