Falling
The sun has gone missing
held hostage by defiant clouds
heavy skies aching, stripped of light
while the dark matter pulls us down…
We are blind to our own blindness
thinking inside narrow boxes
afraid to color outside the lines
hiding within our own shadows…
Falling for fools, falling in love
we fall out of favor with ourselves
trying to pretend time stands still
as the mirror reveals hard truths…
C’est la vie, mon ami
it’s just the way of the world
for the Earth tilts on its axis
hurtling towards tomorrow…
We defy the theory of relativity
stepping into the black hole
free falling to our destiny
faster than the speed of light….
…and gravitation cannot be held responsible.
