Depending upon one’s point of view,
our attraction was inevitable.
Allow me to explain:
I was at rest
doing my best
to conserve energy
before you bumped into me.
I swerved one way,
you the other.
At that point, it was all relative.
We arced like independent rainbows
seeking treasure beyond measure.
The weight of our love
had yet to be a factor,
our momentum building.
But then, as gravity began
to force us closer together,
our time had found a space
with new dimensions.
Interactions did not oppose,
they defied Newtonian Theory
like a quantum leap
of blind faith
inferred by experience
with dark energy.
