Gravity

Do you ever
Wish
You could
Spin round
And around
So fast in every
Direction
Simultaneously
Experiencing
The full sense of
Earth’s shape
As it meets
The atmosphere-
Without getting dizzy, of course
Or passing out-

For one single
Simple second
I sensed the
Enormity
Of it all
Then just as
Quickly
The feeling
Disappeared
Leaving me with
A silly smile over
Having time to
Do the dishes

  1. I love this poem, Kelley. There are moments when I feel love, pain, joy, and grief, and it is all blended together perfectly imperfect and I am just grateful to be alive. They are fleeting but for me, they are the best part of being alive. This may not be what you experienced, but your poem made me think of this. It was a wonderful thought. Thank you!
