What Matters Most

Do I really matter?
The question drifts
on the currents of my thoughts,
a whisper in the vast expanse
of the universe's endless canvas.

I stand in the shadow
of towering mountains,
beneath skies that stretch
beyond my imagination,
feeling small, feeling fleeting,
like a single raindrop
in an unending storm.

Stars burn bright,
light years away,
their ancient glow
a testament to time,
while I, a flicker,
a momentary spark,
wonder if my light
is seen, is felt, is known.

In the quiet hours of night,
when the world is still
and my mind roams free,
I ponder the threads of existence,
the interwoven paths of life,
seeking my place, my purpose,
in the grand tapestry of being.

Do I make a difference?
In the vast ocean of souls,
do my ripples reach
the distant shores of others' hearts?
Am I a fleeting note
in the symphony of life,
or a melody that lingers,
echoing long after the song is sung?

I look to the faces around me,
the connections made, the love shared,
in the smiles and tears,
in the words and silences,
I find fragments of my answer.

In the eyes of a friend,
the warmth of a touch,
the kindness given without thought,
there lies a hint of meaning,
a glimpse of the impact
that often goes unseen.

Each life a thread,
each moment a stitch,
in the ever-growing quilt
of human experience,
where even the smallest piece
adds to the beauty,
the complexity, the story.

Do I really matter?
The answer is not found
in the stars or the mountains,
but in the quiet acts of love,
in the gentle gestures of care,
in the hearts I've touched
and those who've touched mine.

I am here, a part of the whole,
a note in the endless song,
and in this intricate dance of existence,
I find my place, my worth,
knowing that every life,
every soul, every heart,
matters, including mine.
