Gravity

I truly love this strangely wonderful woman but, when she tells me she doesn’t believe in gravity, I have to laugh.
I hug her and try to explain that it’s not a concept but a law of physics.
If you say so, she smiles her gentle smile, but if you can’t fly you’ll need to improvise.
I’m still shaking my head, all chuckles, when she takes my hand and we both float into the air.
In my astonishment I can hardly splutter out my questions as to how this is possible.
Just relax and enjoy the flight, she laughs, laws are made to be broken.

    I like this story, which reminds me of a painting by Marc Chagall, in which a couple is floating in the air.
