an overwhelming question

how much
of what happens in this
world doesn’t matter at
all?

a cell phone conversation
overheard on the
street?

a popsicle
stick condemned to landfill
hades?

a sheet of news
print gesturing in the
grass, one
edge caught in a
puddle?

is there no
end to
loneliness?

there are
hidden signs of
beauty all around
us & everything is
simply
beautiful

the angels take us
by the hand & lead us to
eachother.

we love
& this
matters.

we love &
this is
beautiful.

does this
single, active
molecule of
love

transform the known &
unknown
universe?

we sit together
not talking, just
being.

& when we
rest, we’re not just
sleeping

we’re holding
eachother
tight.
