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

" Be content.
To have the chance to love someone."

Such wisdom! To be content is one of the most important things we can be...once we are content, everything else falls into place :-)

Nicely Written.

Oh wow! I love this a lot. Straight to the truth! It's like the saying, "Live life to the fullest, you never know when it'll be your last!"
Great poem. It has a clear message about life. And i like how carefree it is. It's also quite peaceful.
Very good! I like it! =)

[khalid]

as usual, very nice written poem. it has very nice message concerning respecting elderly. but what about using, writes, instead of write in he write...., i really enjoyed it

[Jazique]

Nice very nice from the top poem leading on the the next of a poem from the black book. As I love the beginning as a poem within poem expressed you in itself of your view of the world of how we act and how we love because by greatest lines "tomorrow is not a guarantee" for everday presents a risk as well as a gift.
Well done.
