The Wordsmith

Poetry and Shorts by Brent Allen Bennett

The Speed of Light

She holds the world in her left hand
And in her right, she holds mine
And I feel so privileged
Until she decides
She wants to let go

The world, it spins around
And wobbles it’s way
Around the sun
As it orbits a super massive
Black hole
In the center of the galaxy

But sometimes it just
Feels like everything’s standing still
And I’m flying through
Space at damn near the speed of light
To the center of the galaxy
And that super massive black hole
That will collapse me to
Next to nothing

Because she decided to let go
