The Great Sieve
If Truth is a universal force,
it is manifest in Gravity:
at its best, it unites heavenly
bodies so they take orbit
’round each other,
their paths set by fascination, by
nuclear attraction creating
chemical bonds not cut by any
quick or easy means. This is
how the world works.
Drive out to the darkest place you know,
point your telescope to the sky and
drink deep. There is Truth within shadow:
of birth, fusion and collapse
with no warning.
It is so, then, that when Truth arrives
it comes with all the dynamics of
force itself, pulling the knees to the
ground, sloughing away what is
inessential.
Force, unyielding by nature, only
cedes to greater force, so Truth gives way
to Change: the greater, unrelenting
force that can strip the need to
live out one’s Truth.
