Gravity. Sun. Life.

Gravity.  The attraction of all matter that holds the Earth together.
That holds me to the Earth.
That holds the atmosphere close, creating the pressure
that pushes air into my lungs when I breathe.

Sun.  The source of energy radiating out, filling space
with a field of photons the Earth collects
as it spins and orbits.

Gravity.  The attraction of all matter that holds Earth in orbit around Sun,
and moon in orbit around Earth.  Creating a dance of light and dark,
seasons and tides, that move energy over, through and around Earth.

Life.  The replicating, reproducing, recycling
programs that gather energy and organize matter
in self-sustaining ways.

Life.  Growing forms shaped by the
inherent, incessant, irresistible force of Gravity.
Including me. Fueled by Sun's energy converted to chemical energy
converted to mechanical force
to push my spent breath back out into the atmosphere.
