No stone dropped down a well ever fell so fast. No bird, no bright balloon has struggled so desperately to stay unfettered and unbound.
I am caught by the gravity of your smile.
This post was written in response to the Trifecta Writing Challenge weekend Trifextra prompt:
This weekend, we want you to give us a thirty-three response using the word stone as one of your thirty-three words. You can use any definition of the word that you’d like, but we are specifically looking for serious, well-conceived entries.

That opening line is sensational. It’s all good. So they call it law of physics now?

This is awesome! Can’t fight gravity and can’t fight love, either (sometimes that’s unfortunate…)

You nailed it! The falling and the lifting… I’ve always loved the word unfettered.

I like the juxtaposition of the falling with the uplifting smile, and the dueling dual meanings of “gravity.” Nicely done!

The down, then up. It feels like the moment you just “know”. And a smile, the right one, always pulls me in. Gravity!

My favorite one so far. Because even though it’s “heavy”, it’s uplifting and special too.
Falling in love isn’t just something you do, a person captivates you from one moment on..and just like gravitiy, you’re pretty much powerless against it.
WOW

LOVE this. Love the dissonance of a smile (UP-ward turn) holding so much gravity. Excellent.
