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

Your poems always reach out to me telling me a story and a lesson learned within for the greater good of mankind. Excellent!

Straight into my library.

Its hard to live each moment as if it were your last, because you never think that it will ever be. But we should. Life would be more enjoyable. Thanks for the reminder.

This is so emotional and a truly beautiful write. I love the fact that he can just be..... and then it goes on, I think there a lot of gratitude in there too. Thank you:)

Beautifully inspirational write. We should take the lesson and hold on to every moment and every person that makes a difference in our lives. Nicely done.

You're very wise. To many people Ask for contentment without ever really accepting it into lives. There is a difference, but I think you've already got that all figured out :)
