let them leave you

imagine begging dusk to not
dawn or with the sun, to not moon
what must be should be. battles are
better fought for a decent course
why force a horse to drink water
when you can allow thirst do the
convincing. people can stay or
leave, none is susceptible to
not changing or growing weary.
to man, there is a becoming
and there’s also “being”, essential
to better the person to be.
