Gravity

Kind of like God
Gravity just is
Beyond Einstein’s reach
Beyond the stars
Pulling the substance of life
Into an eternal river
Are you ether?
Are you blood?
Are you the Creator’s plasma?
What pulls you to me
And me to dust
This dragging down
Of all I love and trust
Gravity rending my clothes
And my life
An astronaut on the moon
Whose module has departed
I and my gray matter
Will be this dust
Someday

Water

Water
How I love you
Warm on my body
Cold in my throat
Miracle of life you are
I just a boat on the sea
Floating endlessly on water
Every cell of my body
Is filled with you water
Before the factories and wines
Distilleries and machinery
And all the convoluted systems of man
Spinning in constant turmoil on the wine-dark sea
There was water
Forming
And rushing over
Me

Everyone

So much in a soul
Is impeccably crafted
The Creator’s hand drifting
Inside everyone
Nuance and feeling
Wild imagination
Each an uncharted island
Awaiting exploration
Every one with a story
Every one with a song
Here where shadow dances
Eternally with light
Tell me how can anyone
Hate anyone?
