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 love this poem! We need a reminder like this and put so beautifully! Great write! A few corrections- should be humans in first line, midst in the second line, race in third line. You know how I am:)

Very good write and true. I always enjoy your writing. :)

This is so good, I think one of my favorite messages. Yes, we're so often messed up by what we think life should be like instead of really enjoying what we have. Especially the people in our lives are what makes life worth living. Excellent job.

An outstanding write. This poem reminds me of an old man I worked with and he couldn't let anything go.

Swim in the good times--beautifully articulated--I lived the beginning of this piece--I grew up in Pacific Grove with the water as my back yard--this brought back many fond memories!
