Haikus on Gravity
For the weakest force,
A simple poem form, for the
Least understood force.
The sun does not set,
Leaving the world in darkness -
The world turns away.
To move forward, you
Must lift yourself from the ground
And let yourself fall.
Only the weakest
Of the four forces directs
The paths of the stars.
The moon falls earthward,
The earth falls into the sun,
And both keep missing.
Puffy, lazy clouds -
Daring gravity to do
Something about it.
Her body bends light,
Pulls on the planets and stars -
How should I resist?
