Fallen


Others have written deeper words
About the pull of gravity.
Equations and their derivatives
Warn about the curvature
Of space, and, even though, they say
The force is weak, I'm weaker still,
For when I fell into the net , attractions set,
And I couldn't get away.

But who's to say I wanted to?
For swept inside the orbits hold,
And whirled in with the galaxies,
The dizzied inverse finds in you
Dynamic equilibrium,
And piercing through
The darkest hold
Of deeper space,
The stunning light of day.
