what matters

By Kat Myrman 
what matters

it matters not when life begins 
or ends; it is the in between
the crooked path, the highs, the lows 
as most lives go, pendulums swing
and we obsess in the extremes
but that’s not where the rubber
hits the road, i’m told, steady 
as she goes, the wise have said,
don’t lose your head, don’t sweat
the insignificant, but who’s to say
what matters most at end of day
if truth be told, if truth exists
the rights, the wrongs the 
reasons why we fight and fret 
and lean toward right or left, 
it is the middle, we forget, 
where time is present, 
neither here nor there, 
where god, if god exists, is love,
is everywhere, where grace 
flows freely, despite who, 
what, why, or where you’ve been,
can we just close our eyes, pretend
it matters not the second life 
begins or ends, it is, as it has 
always been, the in between
