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 like the start of it very much, a few mild typos did break the flow for me I am afraid. But the breath of forgiveness and deep sympathy in your writing is truly astounding.

Awesome, Coyote...it was like swimming into thoughts while reading your poem.

"We need to be thankful/Hold your love one's/Dance and celebrate being alive./Be content./To have the chance to love someone."

These lines moved me and stirred my emotions...so true...Let it be. Nicely done.

man, i could definitely figure it out in my mind ! Great poem, very vivid images (be honest ... you'd like to be that man when you'll be old). Your poem shows much of your philosophic views, but both because of the very short stanzas and your writing skills you make it easy to us to understand ... and even to recongnize ourselves :)
Again, great poem :)

You never do know what is going to happen tomorrow and it certainly is not a guarantee to be there when you open your eyes. (in theory :) I can't help but feel like I was on vacation in the islands whilst reading your words. This poem was uplifting and at the same time very grounding as well... Thank you for the share of one of your beautiful pieces. :)

I discover much reward in this poem. It highlights the ordinary and makes it anything but. You have a passion with your words and it is so clearly visible here.
