Gravitational Analogy
© by Christine Fischer

A subtle embrace holds out far
and, against chaos, forms suns and their planets.
But we tend to be floating apart
as the space we´re demanding in time is expanding.

I wish, but nothing is bright and warm
and together in the same perfect order forever.
Energy escapes and stars seize to burn,
asteroids travel the darkness forlorn.

Distantly spinning around a black hole,
pending to flee or to fall to the core
till the gradual evacuation of mass
is weakening gravity´s force.

It´s all just a circle and nothing is gone,
this vibrating mantra is filling the silence.
Though trying hard to take it as comfort
all I know is I feel
your attraction
no more.
