The Nature of It 2

I've heard about things
telescopes see.  And I
have heard about messages
that come through the 
hearts and spirits of some.

the nature of space
we got here but how
the nature of time
the power of now

to train 
the brain
to read
to seed
to ask
to task
to walk
to talk
to flow
to grow
to weep
to sleep
to beam
the dream

the nature of a thing
the nature of change
the nature of it sting
the nature of it strange

life, is it life
the bitter, the sweet
the nature of it all
to win and defeat

somewhere between
atoms and spirits
a heart pumping
of blood and love

both are real to me
