It Matters Little

"found in the archives"...

It matters little

where we spend our time,

as long as we

spend it together...

and

it matters little

whether we’re apart,

as long as our spirits

are with each other..

and

it matters little

that we’re in love,

if it is not

with one another...

[Coyote Poetry]

Haven't try to load a picture in a while. I did like the poem. Life is a simple journey. Need to try to be happy and hang with the people you enjoy. Thank you for the excellent poem.

This is great! I feel you man! As I couldn't have said id better in my own words following my own muse throughout time on this Earth and beyond dimensions. This is exactly the message I share with her. Thanks! :)

this is pretty much straight to the point. it shows a love that the person has for the other, but also shows that he's not a fool. i like it a lot. i like this kind of straight forward poetry where there's not something takes two hours to try to figure out. you say what you have to say and (for lack of a better phrase) that's what all that matters. nice piece!

Love always matters in some way it seems. Just how you described it was steller. Of little consequence lying beneathe all the reasons to love them. It (everything) about them revolves around that underneathe love we have for our other or even for our family.) If we've lost that person to illness (as I think you suggest here between lines) they left a hole where their outline inside our hearts held them dear. But, when you last saw them and you knew that you were loved for you and they as well for themselves, it keeps that connection within the two of you, just faint but there and you can feel them from time to time tug on that connection, letting you know that you are thought of and loved still by them...Never to be parted and also letting you know that "It Matters Little" the separation..the love is always strong and true as your poem states. I loved the theme in it and that you told it simple but you can read a great deal inbetween the words and lines. Very beautiful soft wonderful piece. Loved it :)

Very nice poem! I loved how it was so short yet sweet and very strong too. It has a great flow and sounds amazing.
Yeah, café is behaving real weird today. I spent like five minutes writing a good and decent review for a poem and when I submitted it, bam! It cut the whole review practically and left only the first line:(
I guess they're working on the site or something which is why there are some problems.
