LETTER TO GRAVITY
Dear Gravity,
You pull the falling leaf to the ground;
As it should be.
I too fall, not up, but down.
Neither leaf nor twinkling star you see,
So if i fall, and maybe bounce around,
To get up again, is my destiny.

I like the title, Gillena, and the epistolary form. The line ‘To get up again, is my destiny’ reminds me of the song lyrics ‘pick yourself up, dust yourself off and, start over again’.
