Gravity

Relentless force

Persisting influence

Weak yet strong

Bonds release, then draw us back

Feeling secure

 

World in motion

Spinning, converts moon to sun

Darkness meets light

Tides swell and retreat

Influence our life

 

Our emotions

Like gravity, determined

Unstoppable forces

Consume our being

Leave us weak

 

Awash, drifting

Stormy spirit beckons dark

Tides in the mind

Twirl and pitch us

Into oblivion
