This song tries to reconcile death of a loved one, against other losses in life. It explores the moment a loved one dies, and rejoins the cosmos.
Interested in any feedback with the structure of the spoon, there is no real chorus, don't if people notice the lack of conventional sections, bridge chorus etc. IE whether or not it detracts.

The Speed of Gravity:
Late last night under a willow tree,
A shooting star shot right through me,
And rocked me and broke me on some new uneven ground.
Just like the host of wedding feast, whose fickle guest just can’t be pleased
The silence of this moment seems to be so loud
I know it's just the speed of gravity
Long thin blocks of wasted time,
Build empty castles in vacant minds,
As the edges of the hourglass become damp and slippery,
I know it’s just the speed of gravity.
The voices of my ancestry,
As I grow old grow more on me,
I will not let their hopes and dreams, become so easily devoured.
And when the day has closed its book,
And gentle night takes a familiar look,
I’ll settled into evenings never ending stream,
I know it’s just the speed of gravity.
I know it’s just the speed of gravity
