Gravity
Your love is like gravity,
drawing me to you,
relentlessly, powerfully, gently, faithfully.
It’s easy to forget.
It’s easy not to pay attention.
Like gravity our love force is mutual.
There is only one possible trajectory,
one possible end point – union – complete union with you.
Yet I can influence the velocity
through how much or little resistance I offer,
and clinging, clinging seems to be my nature.
And so all I want is to consent completely to you.
And so all I feel is grateful to be in the pull of your love.
