Gravity Sings Different Notes For Us All

Dave Van Witt

 

 

The herds of uncertain boys and girls

Lend their hearts to one another,

Attached with invisible fishing wire.

I heave my heart with confidence.

No selfish safety lines,

But dedicated lie-less binds.

 

 Our lips once touched as they do.

I felt the presence of belief in truth.

A fist from heaven!

Then Love Love Love!

An explosion of emotion!

A fist from the farthest heaven!

 

 My mind wanders…

I look to a future time,

I will miss this enough to miss life my life

I couldn’t keep from the crooked time lines...

But I’ll bring myself together like five fingers

Clenched to a fist as if holding a secret

Weighed and balanced equal with life

But shouts!

 

 “We’re all blinded by reality!”

Said my heart to behind my mind.

Said it like it meant something to me

But still a something the world won’t see

 

 Something that means everything

Screams Love!

It falls for me like golden-red leaves

Through crisp blue

When gravity sings… it didn’t kill me

She gave the voice life
