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

This is so amazing. Sends a nice message. I think I can take something from this poem, and apply to my life. Beautifly written. Great job.

You have many pieces of "art" that touch a place of Truth. Every part of this piece says it all Just Be! Live, and let live, enjoying each day with gratitude! Every day is a gift, and today you are part of my "gift"! A wonderful ending with hopes for another beautiful beginning each new day brings
"Just let it be.

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

*** Tomorrow is not a guarantee" ***"

Tomorrow is not a guarantee...

We need to let the chips roll off our shoulders..and forget about old grudges. In other words....Just let it be.
