Dissolution
Let the days fall softly
into nights, which will then
rise silently through dawns
where cycles come to end
inhaled by sleepy yawns.
Do not watch me dissipate
stop trying to hold on
just a habit need be broke
ashes blown, the fire's gone
you cannot feel or embrace smoke.
There is a greater need
for distance and time alone
to see there is no question why
we leave the places we've outgrown
without formal goodbye.
