Beneath Gravity

goddess asks,

“Tell me gravity, 
what do you see 
above you?”

“I see the skies you 
gaze at with longing, 
while cursing my 
hold on your feet

I see your tears
when they fall unnoticed

I also see your heart
when it sinks closer
or when it jumps 
away with glee

Tell me, goddess 
what do you see
beneath you?”

“I see you as the blood 
running through 
the veins of my
mother Gaia, your 
invisible power
her genetic
grasp on me

I see you showing me
that falling hurts
but also teaching 
me to revere the 
fall and ground when
finding the stars”

“Then goddess 
tell me what
do you see
beneath me?”

“When I look deeper, 
far beneath you 
than eyes can see
I cannot believe
what I find, 
for gravity, 
I see that it is I 
grounding you
keeping you 
held upright
since eternity.”
