Orbit

A Poem by jesthepoet

~Orbit~


I know why you're always running.

Your elements: Noise and motion
Mine: Serenity. Devotion.
Everything: Optical. Aural. Sensory.
Chaos: Your Ruling Planet
I Am: The moon in your house
We: Orbit
Gravity: The glue that binds.
Mine to yours: Yours to mine.

Because I forget to live:
you revive me.
Turn up the Volume.

Because you forget to breathe:
I remind you.
Turn down the Bed.

You live loud…only I know,
you do it to deafen yourself.
I incline to silence…only you know,
your finger on the dial,
how to draw out my voice.
