The Reminder



The Reminder

Notice how the world moves, life is movement
Everybody’s doing something even when still
You think you’re at rest and doing nothing
When in fact you’re moving without realizing

The universe moves too, at a rate that’s like glue
We stand upon the earth and look out across a vista
Yet we’re sailing through at a rate of blister
So funny old world where relativity is everyone’s sister

And we succeed at will to move even quicker
Sail the air and into space where we have no weight to measure
But we’re falling so fast the earth goes constantly by seemingly at leisure
Orbiting astronauts could easily believe they’re living longer

But gravity is our taming tether
Trip, fall or collide it reminds and keeps us together
Strength is our antidote and we use it to get back up
Life is so circular; make sure you’ve a sturdy stirrup
