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

I really love the ending of this poem -- its like you want to say something else -- one more thing, but ... you just let it be! your style is interesting - short sentences and dots, dots, dots - it makes me stop and think

This poem is amazing. I'm really impressed. Your words are so powerful and they pack so much meaning in them. I can't even explain to you how I feel about this (I mean that in a good way!). It's so wonderfully written. I give you much applause.

Ahhh, I can't help but think of John Lennon and his song...Let it be.
For if we really could just let each other be, be free
Without regulations, without rules, without needs to order, without needs to influence
How orderly chaotic we would probably be.

I really like this poem... I loved the last line "Tomorrow is not a guarantee", because it isn't and people should enjoy the day as it is.
It was a pleasure to read :)

That was beautiful. If your poem was a painting, it'd be a masterpiece. The message is so clear, so simple, yet we humans seem to have a hard time executing it. Thank you for sharing.

Wow, i am really impressed with your words of wisdom in this piece. I personally liked "Be content. To have the chance to love someone. Just let it be." Its simply comforting, realistic and wise. Thanks for sharing this :)

live for today, but seek tomorrows paradise lest there be no more tomorrows.

Your words ring truth, live as though tomorrow isn't your because you never know when the end will come! Each day should be lived as a gift from God because that is what it is! Excellent writing!!

Tomorrow is not a guarantee. Indeed :) We walk through life without realizing most of the most obvious truths - we're just too distracted to understand them.
