gravity
i am beginning to believe
in gravity
tugging at my heart strings
a gravity releasing me
i am beginning to agree
with gravity
propelling downward
teaching failure
while grace propels
humility
i am beginning to believe
gravity as it makes willows weep
and makes widow makers
make widows weep
so i believe in a gravity
creating silence in space
silence creating gravity in
the internal spaces
where lightness should be
bending inward
because i believe
in the gravity of ego
and the carried weight of self
makes dexterity fail to the darkness
of self made gravity
an anti-victory
yet i am beginning to believe
that the Beginning is a Gravity
greater than ego or earth
or the sun or the very universe
a Gravity that will lift me
and send me careening
and drop me on heaven
drawn by something awesome and heavy
heavenly bright
yet dark to this child’s eyes
blinded by the light
of Christ,
drawn by His gravity,
and by gravity
given flight.
