The Pull of Gravity

My dreams keep me afloat,

Gravity brings me back to reality.

My dreams remind me anything is possible,

But reality brings me to my knees.

My head’s in the clouds;

My feet— on the ground.

The horizons call to be with endless possibilities,

Reality stands firm, unyielding in its presence.

I glimpse a future filled with wonder and hope,

Yet I walk the path laid before me.
