Yes You Do Matter

You matter

The way a single spark matters

To a world that has forgotten fire

Ancient forces lean toward you

Recognizing the quiet flare

Of a soul that refuses to dim

You matter

Like a star that keeps burning

Even after the night has tried

To swallow its name

The heavens rearrange themselves

Around your staying

You matter

In the old

Sacred arithmetic

The universe still remembers

One breath shifts the wind

One heartbeat stirs the threads

Of what is yet to come

Your existence tilts the balance

You matter

Because something primordial

Wrote you into the story

Long before you arrived

And the script cannot hold

Without your line of light

You matter

Not as a whisper

Not as a hope

But as a force woven

Into the bones of creation

Even the gods would feel the absence

If you vanished from the weave

Yes you do matter

In the myth

In the dark

In the turning of the world

That listens for your next step
