The Nature of Things Writer : Annabelle BokIt is the nature of things To fall sideways between the slanting shadows of Dark and light Scrabbling there for a grip on the Everyday quarrel between the open and the Closed, where doors are neither locked nor open but Broken, or ajar, or blown up, or closed but untried, and their keys Lost, buried, nonexistent, wrong - It is the nature of things To lie weary and shaken on a pillow that's wet with Your fears When hours ago it was victory you claimed, and the Cheering figures beside you said their Congratulations, and swore they would give of their Everything, to do what you did, and the sunshine of favour was Bright in your eyes and you Smiled through the rainbows in front of your eyes - It is the nature of things, And well we would do to remember.
