Irresistible

falling like a feather floating
back and forth and down...
in an updraft rising higher
there is no way around

gravity from Earth, our mother
pulling all unseen...
captured by a gentle lover,
by air sometimes it seems

we're in motion and we're flying
no longer falling down
we have wings and we're defying
the calling from the ground...

stillness comes again we tumble
erratically we fall
angelic aspirations crumble
as we approach a wall

gently brushing still descending
the earth approaches fast
settling near a gardener tending
a lawn and its green grass...

gravity, a force and mystery
everywhere unseen
can disappear, becoming history
when in a waking dream
