Just excellent Roger...As Jim said...the play on words here is woven throughout the entire poem and the use of the word gravity in both it's meanings is nothing less than divine. I keep reading it over and over and like your mind, through the cracks in the ceiling, expanding to encompass the universe, I take the trip with you only to return and come face to face with the gravity of the situation on Earth. This one is really, really good Roger.

very cute and light. almost as if you are a child again seeing shapes on your ceiling. yet, it is adult-like and deep - as your imagination runs wild!

I will not diminish the personal depth by appearing to know what this is about. My heart has felt a number of thoughts throughout this work, but only you can know what goes through your own mind in the night.
Some things are just out of our control, but we should discern which we should hold on to and what we should just let go of to keep our sanity. Hold on to life, to God's love, and His peace. Let go of things you can not change; a grown child's ways, the meaning of the universe... But wait for God's design to experience 'His Space'. Let Him dwell with you in your space for now.. tomorrow will be soon enough to enter His gates.. after all, it will be for eternity. The heaviness of this world will only be a vision in those days.
I've read this several times and I still falter at the end... I know you wrote 'how rewarding to be in his space', and it makes good sense there as you wrote it, but I always have to train my eye not to see it as 'his peace'.
Deeper and deeper, I see you more.

Just goes to show that it takes some sort of faith to live every day, believing that someone (God)is in control of the universe and the tiny piece of dirt we live on.
This is well written, and gives praise to the One who created all things.
Thanks for this piece.

I like the way you portray the mystery of this force that I'm not sure anyone really understands-- describe emirically, yes, but realy understand-- well that's for Poetry. I also like the sort of play on words you use, since gravity, as applies to situations, usually has a negative connotation.

This, I think, is my favorite of all the poems I have read, written by you. I could feel my mind and soul expanding to encompass the immense feeling you portrayed with your written words.
Pure beauty Mr.Crique. Masterfully written.
