MUST

...

By T. LichtPublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read

The rain must fall, the clouds must burst.

Odd must be even, second can't be first.

Caterpillars must die, tadpoles must go.

Trees must stand, and water must flow.

The moon must wane, the sun must bloom.

Rises must set, deadlines must loom.

There's musts in winter, there's musts in spring.

There's musts in life, there's musts in everything.

Choose in this must life away to must not.

I tried to find a way how, but I must have forgot.

    Your poem is beautiful and thought-provoking. I love how it captures the cycles of life and the struggle between what must happen and what we wish could change. The ending is especially powerful!

    Must not, make it a choice and not a must if we can. i love the playfulness and serious nature of your poem.
