Natural Forces

I have felt the pull of the moon
Bearing against my body
As it draws the ocean
With a force irresistible.

I know the weight of water in a stream
Pressing relentlessly in its course,
Carving through rock and reducing
Stone to pebble to sand to silt.

I have dreamt dreams of falling,
Fearlessly, from heights unknown,
Rushing to some eternal abyss
With the speed of light.

Such forces as define physics
And nature and dreams
Are all eclipsed by this -
That power called love.
