Let it be

Let it be.













              



               Old man sitting alone.

               Sitting on the cliffs of Pacific Grove.

               You can see the Pacific ocean forever.

               Miles of the beautiful and powerful sea.



               He write words into a black notebook.

               Secret whispers into a book.

               Words describing a grand life.


               I bring him coffee.

               He thanks me.

               Read me a poem daily.









                          Let it be



                          Human's are twisted.
                          In the midst of paradise.


                          Our mind's race for reasons.
                          Not to be content.


                          Let it be.


                          We need to be thankful.

                           Hold your love one's.

                           Dance and celebrate being alive.


                           Be content.
                           To have the chance to love someone.


                            Just let it be.


                            Swim in paradise.
                            Of the good times.
                            We can be together.


                            Tomorrow is not a guarantee.

Some poets need to impress, some crave recognition .. but you, dear John, touch your friends and reviewers' hearts and, in the process, teach them a little more about being true to themselves in a very messy world.

'Tomorrow is not a guarantee.' ~ and that's why every hour of one's life should be cherished

In my past profile, I read your stuff religiously, and I have great intentions to do the same with this one. It's always inspiring to read your words, and it always touches my heart whenever I read these words of wisdom. You brighten up our outlook on somethings by three simple words. "Let It Be." It's beautiful.
