It doesn't matter

By: Michael David Coffey

Caring as I do
I wander the
avenues of longing
searching
Your presence in the
flowers, the streams
The silence in the
forests
That embrace your
name, 'Love'

Caring as I do
I neglect the
ways of the world
And wander in my
mind's pursuit
of dreams
Yet to be
Perhaps never to be
But believing this truth
to be destined-
That we will love
again

Caring, caring as I do
I caress the
sand
And watch the
fine sunbaked
grains
Cascade
Disappearing in
the desert of
longing
And I cry for you

Caring as I do
my life takes
on a perception
of unearthly tones
Of music divinely
given
Played in the
cathedral's
forest of lost souls
Where I seek you
And I say, 'It
doesn't matter'
Yet, I die for you
