Gravity

Gravity brooks no
resistance for long
just ask the juggler
whose timing went wrong
the fallen come
to a sudden stop
why pyramids have
their points on top

Down the dead end we
consider what has occurred
that put us here
and what we once were
before gravity showed us
who was the boss
leaving us among
the shards of our loss

Somewhere nearby
the traffic still flows
and if we can find
our get up and go
we may still rise
on these broken wings
to find a place
and a reason to sing
