An Object in Motion (poem)

Sir Isaac Newton's first law is as follows:

an object in motion will remain in motion,

and an object at rest will remain at rest,

unless acted on by an outside force.

I'm getting back in motion again,

my momentum ruined by endless phone calls,

days ending with a craving for quiet,

no desire for a new adventure.

I wanted to fly,

but I couldn't even stand -

twenty-three and unable to walk

the path I could see before me.

I have a room of my own now,

where I can be free to run wild

through my imagination and its memories,

chasing a little flame home.

An object in motion will remain in motion

unless acted on by an outside force.

The flame of this pen will continue to burn

unless extinguished by my final breath.
