In midst of many, entwined yet alone,
in truth we live the life of a recluse,
since we are empty and ego has flown,
it mattering not if we win or lose,
for we take from bliss magnetism our cues,
becoming the very flame of delight,
as we watch form transformed as living light....

One by one
they line up
for a smile
a hug
a word
from Santa

As if time stops
on Santa’s knee
fortune and
social status
not mattering

One time
children
are treated
fairly

Allowed
to dream
to hope

If only…

Ahead it hums and it glows 
An arm stretching and streaking and bending 

Mattering only to itself where it is going 
Fending off the sky and the dirty water. 

Behind it waves to me through the blurred past 
An old foe it remembers with determination 

A serpent in wait slithers away beyond the mirror 
Wait for I will be back this way old friend....

Lonely upshot woodland creature free
Scratching on the limbs of a maple tree
I found squirrels chattering,  leaping,  jumping swings
And swinging and hiding from branch limb to limb
Chittering and chattering 
Like all the surroundings mattering
Upshot busy woodland creature
Chatter, chatter, chattering features

Dawn
Written: by Tom Wright
1/00

The dawn,
slowly creeps before me,
exposing frost covered ground.
I yawn,
while wiping the window to see,
a single squirrel, but void of sound.

Tail ringing,
quite disturbed, in yon sycamore tree.
Melodiously chattering.
Soon I'll be bringing,
pecan morsels or corn to thee,
and that, my friend, is all that's mattering.

UNCLE SAM

Is Uncle Sam
white or black
dressed in blue
mattering
about
me and you
making a sign
of peace

our family tree
made up of
you and me
i love my family

stars above our heads
scars of generations
i lay the stars down
on the ground
each spot lights up
as we stand
together
each star flies up
lights the balmy sky

God smiles
at all

you matter to him
one and all

Do I matter anymore,
Do I matter to you,
Does it matter if I make a decision,
Does it matter if I cry too,
Does it matter what I do,
Or does it matter I came all this way,
The arguments things lead up to,
Leaves you with nothing to say,
Again does it matter what I say,
Everything rejeted in a certain kind of way,
Do I matter,
Not at all,
Because mattering means nothing to anyone,
Not ever,
Just not at all.......

Even as trees feel some pensive mattering
from when all motion seems as sensitivity
a faith, I found from holding onto nothing
but to thy honor ~  patience rail, proclivity!

The dust around us swirls, convex in  hiding
our true affair with it, constraint abiding,
for in God's care two souls emerge confiding,
as when creation formed its bonded siding.

Seizing rain, two entities residing
in love's true finding, far from shallow breakers riding!...

        I know I'm not important to you,
A familiar truth, a sky of blue.

     I'm used to fading, unseen, it's true,
Not mattering, a life I knew.

        But why this twist, this cruel disdain?
Why make me feel this burning pain?

      I care for you, through sun and rain,
And you make me feel ashamed, insane.

      As if my caring is a crime,
A twisted joke, a waste of time.

        You wound me deep, in subtle rhyme,
For feelings honest, pure, and prime.
