gravity

Taylor Franson, First Place

I believe there are solar systems in our blood streams And that each star has a heartbeat And the reason we keep looking to them Is that deep down We know without knowing We came from the same stuff as the stars Iron and carbon in our blood Each breath a super nova And with each breath the universe breathes a little easier Every platelet a planet And this gravity that holds you together Is the same gravity That pushes some people away But in the end They’re in the same orbit And they’ll always come back together The same way blood cycles back to your heart And how our minds Cycle back to the stars.
