Like an asteroid colliding into our lives
Knocking us out of circular paths
Shaking us vigorously
Awoken
We open our eyes
Will we be pulled away into the abyss
Ripped apart by the inescapable force
of gravity, so much larger than we are?
Or will we find ourselves
closer together than ever
As if for the first time
Seeing the world
Seeing ourselves
The realization that
We must love ourselves
If we truly want to love each other
