Can you will the wind

The house
the night
and you
awake

The will
to fight
the wind
that shakes

But can
you will
the wind
abate?

The river
the flood-tide
someone, somewhere
drowns

The will
to fight
the water
that does rise

But can
you will
the water
return
to the skies?

The life
the disease
for you
the blessed

The will
to fight
within
your breast

But can
you will
infection
to rest?

Can you will
nature’s course?
Can you will
away remorse?
If no,
Can you be whole
and your
will be still
and even live
without your will?
And just live
and be still?
