Bernard Barclay Poet Narrative

Gravity

Gravity what is this force that keep us here
that stops our feet from touching air
Gravity, scientist's search 
for the physic's gravitron

yet perhaps I think
their search might be in vain
Could it be the atom 
where thoughts of force remain

the atom circles endlessly 
with flowing rings of life
electrons flow around it
in different numbered strings

the valence energy levels
hydrogen links with oxygen
that's H2O to you
two hydrogen one oxygen

creates the water zone
with hydrogen
The levels build
with just an only one

the valence energy level
has just one single particle
just one electron searching
looking to complete 

it's searching for another
and links with oxygen
oxygen has eight
The first level is complete 

but now 
it's more confusing
now there's level two
valence level two

Now seeks eight to be complete
oxygen has six and wants two more to share
two one's from hydrogen 
and six from oxygen 

with eight they're into sharing
and water is there name
but wait lets stop perhaps that wrong
maybe not complete

perhaps there's just a little more 
the atom seeks to meet
a mild trace of energy
a mild form of pull

a gentle slight attraction
perhaps we've yet to meet 
gravity's attraction
a mild form of force 

could matter attract matter
could that be the simple source 
the earth is made of matter 
attracting us to it 

The moon is just a sixth it's size
and gravity is weak
but then is space a vacuum
and empty bottle sucks 

you empty out a bottle 
and it suck towards itself
the earth would be in motion
the vacuum out in space

is pulling us towards it
well earth is pulling back
around and round in circles
around and round we go

opposing forces virtues 
create's the life we know
granted Albert Einstien
believed it wasn't so

He believed that gravity 
was formed from space and time
the curvature of space he said
created gravity 

I have my doubts I think about
the atom all the time 
I think the atom takes the prize
creating what we need for life
