Jeff Connelly Poet I do not know?

Universal Laws 2

waking from
a dream of
falling

putting my
bare feet
to wood

floors
lightheaded
two stories

up i need to
walk down
stairs but

unlike a giant
step for man
kind i find

i'm outside
grass growing
between my toes

yet no roots
grounding
me i'm a

live wire
aspiring
to jump

trying to
touch the
moon 

so i throw
myself up
in the air

flapping
my arms but
even feathers

fall off of
a bird in
flight

landing
on the
earth

and try as i
might i 
can

only try
but i 
can

not do
what i want
for i must do

what is not
wanted but
that which i

have to
follow for
it's the law

of

g
 r
  a
   v
     i
      t
       y

Jeff Connelly November 5, 2019 at 6:33 AM It's dragging us down Caren lol. Thank you for reading and commenting.
