What is the matter?

 

We are born from matter

We are made of matter

We will return to matter

 

The things that made us unique

Taken back into the bigger aggregate

And that matters too

 

To be matter is simply to occupy space

But to matter is to take the forefront

 

We are made of matter

And yet we get to choose what matters to us

 

Can it be a coincidence that a word

Used to describe the basest form existence

Is also used to elevate one person, event, or circumstance above another?

 

This matter of language and words

Prose and poetry

It too matters

Even when it is not made of matter at all
