Pendulum Calm

You are the hush before the thunder The gravity beneath my skin Every time I drift, you pull me under And I learn to start again The air slows down inside your shadow My pulse aligns to something true But when you fade into the distance All that balance leaves me too When I’m with you, the weight stops falling But I don’t know where it lands You pull me close, the silence fractures And I forget what stillness stands Every piece of me collides Then the motion turns to light When I’m with you I’ve tried to find a steady rhythm In echoes of your quiet hands But every heartbeat leans toward center The equilibrium of soft surrender The still point cuts the world in two And every moment finds its mirror In the space between us two When I’m with you, the weight stops falling But I don’t know where it lands You pull me close, the silence fractures And I forget what stillness stands Every piece of me collides Then the motion turns to light When I’m with you Maybe love’s a law of motion Set in place before we knew Every force that draws me closer Finds its equal pulling through When I’m with you, the world stops turning And for once, it feels aligned The pendulum comes softly resting In the calm we leave behind Every echo finds its truth Falling perfectly in tune When I’m with you I come to rest in you I come to rest in you No more falling, no more spinning I come to rest in you When I’m with you
