It’s another day, and we’re all still blessed to be here.

But we live in a world constantly telling us how little we matter.

So, for whoever needs to hear it today:

You matter.

Here’s some poems. 💙💙💙

A heartfelt poem about the ways our lives affect other people without us realizing it, and how kindness, humor, and memory can become evidence that we matter.

Evidence

You think
you don’t matter.

Meanwhile,

someone still tells
a joke you taught them.

Someone hears your name
and smiles.

Someone is kinder
because once,

you were kind
to them.

You don’t get to see
all your evidence.

A poem about understanding a person’s importance through the absence they would leave behind, in familiar sounds, spaces, and everyday moments.

The Empty Chair

You learn
what someone weighs

when they leave.

Not in pounds.

In silence.

In the missing laugh.

In the chair
nobody sits in.

Don’t tell me
you are nothing.

Nothing
doesn’t leave a hole.

A gentle poem about how changing the world doesn’t always require something enormous, and how listening, staying, or making one difficult afternoon easier for someone can matter deeply.

Ordinary

You don’t have
to change the world.

Maybe you changed
one afternoon

for someone
having the worst day
of their life.

Maybe you stayed.

Maybe you listened.

The world is made
of afternoons too.

A hopeful poem for anyone questioning their importance, imagining the friends, neighbors, and strangers they have yet to meet whose lives may someday be touched by their presence and kindness.

For Whoever Needs It

There are people
you haven’t met yet

who will be glad
you kept going.

A friend.
A neighbor.
A stranger

who will need
exactly the kindness

only your life
could have taught you.

You are not finished
meeting everyone
who will love you.

“I had spent
so long
looking at
where I’d been hurt

that I hadn’t noticed

I wasn’t bleeding anymore.”

Sometimes healing happens quietly enough that the scars are the last ones to find out.

“How long
would You have kept mine?”

I asked.

God looked up.

“As long
as it took.”

— God Keeps a Lost and Found

For anyone who has ever worried they’ve been gone too long to find their way home.

Maybe the most intimate thing
isn’t being desired.

Maybe it’s being seen
beneath all the things
you were told made you dangerous-

and being loved
without being asked
to become harmless first.

Something’s got
my hand,
and it’s gripping it
firmly,

dragging my body
through
a brutal
countercurrent.

I wonder what shape
and state
I will arrive in
once I am delivered
where it wants
to take me,

and trust the self
that first agreed
to this—

whatever came,
whatever went.

What does a cereal box keep besides breakfast? A blue drummer lifts his stick; somewhere, a familiar tune starts up. Follow it into The Drummer’s Hand. Full poem free on FREQ.

For knowing darkness, yet choosing light,
is its own quiet kind of might.

I wrote a new poetry draft on weekend „Earth is calling out for my heart". I would like to publish soon, while we are in the earth time till October from the point of view of seasonal elemental awareness. However I am not a person of schedule. :)
