Gravity and love

we take gravity for granted

gravity makes objects fall towards earth

gravity keeps your feet on the ground

gravity maintains the earth in an orbit around the sun

but how does gravity work

what makes two distant objects attract each other

science defines gravity as a force

I want to know what generates that force

love is an invisible force that brings two people together

love makes you feel attracted to another person

the closer you get the stronger you feel it

love keeps many couples together for a lifetime

everybody has an infinite supply of love to share

children thrive on love

it feels good to give it out

and you feel ever so happy when you receive it

so now I understand it all

gravity is love

love is gravity

The pebble

she picked up a pebble on the beach at dawn

it was heart shaped

holding in in her open hand

she could feel the heartbeat

she put the pebble in her pocket

walked back to her waterfront home

her husband was still sleeping

placing the pebble on his pillow

she got back into bed

drifted off to sleep

dreaming about being loved

being held tight

a loud noise woke her

her husband was sitting up

somebody put a rock in the bed he yelled

he threw it against the wall

she decided not to own up

her husband got up and dressed

there was no good morning kiss

he left the house soon after

she got out of bed

found the pebble on the floor

holding it tight in her hand

no heartbeat

it was cold and dead

it was time to move on

she packed a bag

made a few calls to friends

took a taxi to the airport 

she left a note on his pillow

I gave you my heart

but you threw it away

I am not made of stone
