We can’t defy gravity
Or time,
One keeps us down
To earth
The other wears us out,
The perpetual cycle
Of rising and falling,
We thought of
As progress
When we were
Young.
We never come back
To the same place
We started,
We just think it is,
Like a decaying orbit,
We falling a few degrees
Lower with each cycle,
Gravity brings us
Down
So, we are lucky
If we survive the crash,
Landing softly
If we are lucky,
Life letting us
Get up again
Letting us walk
Where once we flew
Earth under our feet
Instead of air
Under our wings
