Dear Gravity
How I have ignored you most of my life
I learned about you in school
Never thinking much about you
Until now
(I do like that song of yours)
Yes, I have complained about
Your pulling down my facial skin
My bottom and upper arms
I am after all getting older
Saggy, baggy, crepey
Just today during a meditation
Flat on my back
I felt the earth pulsing and
Realized how much I love you
Gravity, always connecting me closely
You keep me attached
Like a magnetized coin
You secure and ground me to
Mother Earth, to my family
Friends and community
Never thought about you much
No need to before now
Thank you for not letting me
Fly around like an autumn leaf
Too often
Uncertain of where I will land
Colorful leaves fall when
Their time is done on trees
My Soul will be gliding and sliding
When I am done here
Scampering around in the Knowing field
Peaceful at last
