Attraction

You expect teachers to tell the truth or at least know the truth as a child A Teacher stood at the head of our class Gravity is created by centrifugal force taking a bucket full of water he swung it round in circles See how the water stays at the bottom of the bucket that's the force Gravity that keeps us on the planet My mind thought that can't be right we are on the outside of the planet going round and round Then surly like the bike wheel the force would throw us off Gravity must be something different since then I have learned Einstein believed that Gravity was created by the curvature of space and time That like a blanket wraps itself around the earth holding us down to the planet it's hard to argue Einstein was no fool but to me I think of space and time as the proverbial nothing But then with space we know that the proverbial nothing is actually something we sit in the middle of a miracle and question the impossible how can something never end and yet that is the description of space a never ending vacuum devoid of energy black saturn a tapestry or canvas on which God paints the endless energy of life an eternity of nothing stretching on for endless time yet my mind still thinks Gravity could be the simple atom the microscopic building block of life the atom attracts other atoms attempting to link together could gravity be created by this attraction could matter simple be attracted to matter

Your definition of gravity in the last three stanza is a beautiful work of imagination and experience ... Enjoyed the poem very much ...
