Sun Setting the Pendulum

Momentum, momentum

Swinging on life’s pendulum.

Beer only ceasing the gravity seizing.

To cascade out of orbit

Is the sweetest of death’s sherbet.

Susceptible to dry weakness

Ill-alarmed by orange bleakness.

To plummet lush expectations

Challenges scientific calculations

Striving for a place to find

Infinity beyond the stars align

Collapsing predecessors of theory

Aim: intuition swinging freely

Deviating ridges predefined

Creativity of a world previously blind.

Favoring imagination suffrage

Snapping locks on life’s luggage

Momentum, momentum

Spiraling off the pendulum

Breathe beyond a physics course

Striving to breach gravity’s force
