"Today I don't need a replacement. I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant."- Peter Gabriel, Solsbury Hill


Why is it that I feel this earthly pull
Whenever I draw close enough to you?
The warmth from in your eyes will feed me full
I know that this connection must be true.
But gravity, the one force that attracts
Is not too strong for us to feel its power
How can it be when you this power lack
And yet I feel it as we spend each hour?
I long to lock myself in your embrace
Like magnets pulled from distant lengths away
To feel the sun that shines upon your face
But why this force exists, I cannot say.
Perhaps this thread, when plucked, will vibrate true
Our souls were bound when first my eyes saw you.

This was an assignment in school, to write a sonnet, and one of my favorite things to write about is how people are connected by mysterious forces.
