All That Really Matters
a perpetual stranger
traveling down
this dark and narrow, twisted trip
of blissful contradiction
with heart wide open
absorbing all this life
has to give while
wandering the razor's edge
in peace and harmony
ever so thankful
for wounds that sting
and the laughter that heals
in all these many years
I've never lost faith
that each step
brings us closer
to that place of perfect completeness
where we wake up in wisdom
to cast all aside
all of our favorite demons
and finally realize
that love is all that really matters.
