Something That Matters.




   Something That Matters.
=====================
Life is full of matter.
Feeling emotion and sentiment,
Instinct, intuition, intellect and wisdom,
Are mere tributaries running their
Invisible scales of measurement.
The soil knows the body more than the soul.
Utility is the yardstick, qualifying life.
Life’s abstract contributions are supplementary.
The language of the body matters most.
Soothing words are sidelined by structural support.
Being physically close and useful  means, being needed;
But being physically close as a burden, looks unenviable;
Running out one’s utility, ruins the style of matter;
If ageing sickens the environment,
Life’s matter asks for being laid to rest.
Life is after all more matter than spirit.
