"It Doesn't Matter"

Try as we might it
   doesn’t matter.

Every attempt to
   adjust the timing and
   enhance the lighting,
   doesn’t matter.

Every effort to
   orchestrate a better result and
   imagine a new connection,
   doesn’t matter.

Every wish to
   turn a single ‘win’ into a habit and
   cultivate a consensus,
   doesn’t matter.

Every desire to
   pull a friend closer and
   protect them from an enemy,
   doesn’t matter.

Every short-range scheme you devise
   to feed a longer-range strategy,
   doesn’t matter.

Every new qualification you create
   and virtue you try to uphold,
   doesn’t matter.


So, what really matters?
   to Be in Reality.

And notice what doors
   do open up,

And accept that what doesn’t make sense now,
   will later.

Because it really
   doesn’t matter . . .
   Until it Does.
