It matters
yet let it still not matter
and may be it won't either
And if at all
let me be free enough
abandoning myself
to the momentary frivilousnes
of some eccentric thoughts
and let the strange peace of
idiosyncratic thoughts
soothen my being a particle in time
For sometimes life is such
as to wanting vehemently
yet not wanting fervently enough
That which keep weighing
one over the other
We live the strangest paradoxes
abandoning the greatly needed
cause the unrest, cause the chaos
Yet I'm glad today
a bit more than yesterday
for once I'm truly what I say
for once I am what I am today
My heart, soul, listening
to each other's musings
Knowing life couldn't be
any other way
Accepting ...fulfilling ...
my dreams, in my own way
As much as it takes courage
to move forward
So much so a courage
to step backward
May no one ever judge
Let my heart be
for all you to see
Let my silence be
for the one who understands
the depths of a sea
For it matters
and it matters not
As a Pisces person, decision making is always a shall I/shan't I situation. Enjoyed your thoughts on the subject. ♥
ReplyDeleteI wonder how much the stars affect us ,because I find myself different from the majority of our breed. But I'm glad it resonated with you. Thank you
DeleteI second that, and I'm only Virgo.
ReplyDeleteYou too...ha, ha. mm now I'm really happy. Thank you
DeleteThanks to my interest in astrology, I now understand the significance of the Pisces/Virgo link. Due to their directly opposite positioning...you can't have one without a little of the other! lol
Delete"Knowing life couldn't be

This is my favorite bit. I like the mixture of uncertainty and conviction. Life will happen any way it chooses, and our reactions to the happenings are all the control we can have.
I like for things a sure yes or no, left or right, etc. with a take it and run result. Of course we have failures and variations for future decissions to help us decide.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking this was hard to write trying not to get wires crossed.
..
Jim ...it was.. but I think it came across right. Thanks you
DeleteIt matters and it matters not. Good thought for a particle :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Priscilla
Deletewanting vehemently
ReplyDeleteyet not wanting fervently enough ... we do live in paradoxes!
May be that's what life is all about. Thank you Rajani
DeleteBeautiful poem 'fulfilling my dreams, in my own way' Yes our own way is the way. Finding ourselves and living it. Love 'Let my silence be for the one who understands
ReplyDeletethe depths of a sea'
Yes it matters Had to think about why it wouldn't matter. Maybe because it is about the journey not the destination
It matters to me, yet to others it might not matter :). And thank you Marja
DeleteChoices, some are obvious, many others are not. Your words made me think of the quote from Deepak Chopra: The universe has no fixed agenda. Once you make any decision, it works around that decision. There is no right or wrong, only a series of possibilities …
ReplyDeleteYes Penelope I feel that's really true . Thank you
DeleteYes Penelope I feel that's really true . Thank you
Delete"We live the strangest paradoxes: ~ I love this line in a poem that spoke volumes. Great write!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Helen
DeleteI ike the line "It takes courage to move forward." And sometimes it takes courage just to Stan still. I should know . Learn More
ReplyDeleteGlad it resonated, thank you
Delete"soothen my being a particle in time" - oh yes, I wonder how we are able to keep all our particles together as "one" and not each bouncing off in different directions. There is so much to ponder in your poem. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, your comment is one more beautiful.. bouncing in different directions :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Lee San
Being ourselves is what matters and it's a privilege to do so, even if it's sometimes unpopular.
ReplyDeleteYes of course Colleen , Thank you
