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

Love the last line.

May of two-thousand nine. Hmm, really demonstrates how well you've let this sit, like fermented wine. Passionate and well thought. You just... let it be, and here it is. Quite wonderful. Great write.

[Wolf's Dark Song]

Very impressive writing. Yes, we need to appreciate what we have and treat it with love and respect. Why wait until we lost it before we realize how precious it was, the it being someone in our lives. You write such wonderful human stories that we all can relate to one level or another.

Tomorrow is definitely not guaranteed so we certainly need to live each moment with a smile and hold it as tightly as we can along with our loved ones. Love your work Coyote.

Coyote this has a softness to it, a feeling of reminiscence all captured in well chosen lines and words.. I enjoyed the read

[Poetic Beauty]

These are very wise words. Sometimes we need to let the unimportant things go and enjoy the blessing we have been gift. Let it Be.
