Things

Things.

Intriguing things

Mystifying things

Riveting things

Haunting things

Things.

Things we let go

Things we just don't know

Things spiralling in our heads

Things sleeping with us in our beds

Things.

Things you and I knew

Things too good to be true 

Things ricocheting off of murky waters

Things that make our voices falter

Things.

Things muddying our skeptical lenses

Things that lie just north of the senses

Things we dreamt of as children

Things we left to bubble and simmer in cauldrons

Things.

Things, nevertheless, things

Things of mystique and things of love

Things clumped together with things from above

Things we look for all our lives 

Things that look like gentle knives

Things that hurt, things that heal

Things we would never ever reveal

Things we keep locked, things we throw to the winds

Things of the paupers and things of the kings

Things that make up all other things

You, me, and every other thing

Things that come from nothing

Things that end into nothing

Things.
