The Law of Gravitational Insistence



The Law of Gravitational Insistence
by Sam Flot 2012

Sinking into the surrounding peripherals
Delving deeply into the senses visual and aural
Taking it all in as a scent triggers a memory
Set like alabaster in the mind’s treasure chest
Filling the present with
Some long lost moment and place
In time’s relentless barrage of
Perpetual perception
They call them leaves because
They tend to stay for only so long
Before they bid adieu
To the home branch
For one glorious fleeting flight
Through the whims of
The wind’s spurious insistence or apathy
Sent downward by
The heavily enforced law of gravitational insistence 

Falling directly or floating spinning
Freefalling with no wings big or little
To soften the landing
On another tree below or
The earth’s perpetual dirt
Ready now to decompose
Into the cyclical masterpiece
Happening always beneath the forest floor

Sinking slowly
Sinking into minerals and rocks
Sinking into the surrounding peripherals
Only to stay for so long
Before becoming another tree
Slowly branching out
To grow leaves that tend to stay
For only so long………
