It Only Matters

5/25/11

After all is said, done,

before last breath escapes body,

what stands out as important

is up to myself alone,

no one else travels along

on solo journey back home

to Source, the Unknown Void,

best to be marveling review

of storied experiences, decisions made

with overriding effect, love shared,

joy felt, and passed around,

while amazed by beautiful tapestry

'up, down' emotional strands colored,

brilliantly wove, when living through

every moment whether fully aware

or not, playing integral part

in 'Great Theater of Life'

never knowing who in attendance

were influenced, inspired, motivated toward

freedom from inherited authoritarian demands,

hopefully understanding sooner than later

that everything is teeming miracle,

and bed slept in is

mine to make each day,

blanketed by changing consciousness, realizing

it only matters to me.
