Gravity Poem by Sherwin Balbuena

Gravity



Force that keeps the Earth in orbit
Around the Sun.
Nobody has ever seen it
Until the line
Of a falling meteor is drawn
On the night sky;
Until the tiny seed has grown
Into a tree;
Until people can clearly see
What's low or high.

Force that pulls the tide and the spring
A little bit.
Defiance to it is showing
The top secret
When a rocket escapes the Earth
To discover
The universe's wall and its birth.
Newton is found
When an apple falls to the ground.
It's here and there.

Force that lets the Moon rise and set
In the dark night.
Force that makes Heaven and Earth meet
Before our sight.
When raindrops fall on a flower
Magic happens;
The latter's color turns brighter
Under the Sun.
In love I fall with a woman
To the heavens.

To Princess
