simply by existing
we have an impact
overheard truths
from a phone
unfiltered
uninvited
how they were framed
why they were uttered
matter not
-
though the responsibility
of the statement
of existence
can't be ignored
-
neither can
the accountable fact
that existence
matters
-
Your existence
our existence
matters

Thanks for reading!

This is a good jolt to the soul! There is meaning and life matters, so go forth and act accordingly to that understanding! Wonderfully wrought, Paul!
This was eye opening. What a great reminder to us all. That even though we’ve got all these distractions, it still stand, that our existence matters more. That even though we can choose to ignore these distractions, the one thing we can’t ignore, is the statement of existence. This was motivating, and it keeps us accountable. We must do something with our existence, something meaningful, something that will change the world. Well done Paul 👌🏽
This one got my stream of consciousness going. This is one of those abstract surreal pieces that I have to sit down and ponder. Great work Paul.
This really got me thinking. Thanks for making me feel like I matter today 😀
Is it a wave or a particle? Which path does it take to its destination? Either, both & every path. It remains undetermined until it is observed.
This poem certainly matters, as do all of us! Well said, Paul.
To making the most of it!
Yes it does, whether we know it or not. Beautifully said
beautiful poem
I love this, Paul :)
