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

Th tandem of relative sequence guides the reader withou being offensive, well done good read.

The words from a rolling stone song ring in my head "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you might just find you get what you need."

I really enjoyed this poem, it gave me a feeling of relaxation when I was reading it. I think that end really tied the whole poem up because it is true that "tomorrow is not a guarantee" and I dont think people take enough time to do the simple things that make them happy and you manage to describe those things so beautifully in this poem. Nice work!

This poem has this sudden soothing effect. I love the structure of the poem, if you look at it from a distance, it makes a shape resembling tides! The imagery created is beautiful- I can almost imagine an old man on a cliff beside the serenity of the sea. So uplifting and so full of wisdom and beauty, and the last line just makes it what it is. Amazing :)
