Let it be . . .

Let those stray birds flock again in your branches

Let the wind flow through their feathers

Let the heap of withered leaves under your autumn branches

be another mountain for the moon to rise behind

Let the song of rain be sung for the first time

When the night falls down,

let the song carry the darkness and keep your branches

brighter than ever before

Let the world stay calm that it

will listen to your growing desires and thus

unexpect your fruits

Let the greatest soul give the river

another chance to flow by your side

Let children throw your seeds into the river

that reaches distant fields

Let no bridges built across our river

as we ensure its flow

by being on its two different banks

Let you raise again and again in love and

Let you grow again and again till the time ceases

Let faces fade in and fade out

and the memories too

Let you be everywhere

and thus be nowhere in this conscious game

Great concept "Let it be.."
Accepting is much better than complaining ofcourse..
Nice job

"Let you be everywhere
and thus be nowhere in this conscious game"

Let Swaroop keep writing such wonderful pieces and
Eyes freeze while blending into his words...

[Namrata]

Let no bridges built across our river
as we ensure its flow
by being on its two different banks

You inspire ! Such beautiful personification with the metaphors obviously.

[Wynter Page]

Very peaceful in the message.
Let it be...
Let it flow, let it go.
It eases the soul.

[audrie]

Very eloquent poem. I always love the personification of nature.

"Let the heap of withered leaves under your autumn branches
be another mountain for the moon to rise behind"


"When the night falls down,
let the song carry the darkness and keep your branches
brighter than ever before"

These verses are especially beautiful! great work!

this is a really good poem thank you for sharing. just a few suggestions though "Let the song of rain sung for the first time" might sound a bit better if it's "Let the song of rain be song for the first time" also the "reaches places" would probably sound better if you replaced places with something else like across long distances (random example) just because your poem is great for the detail and imagery and "places" takes a little from that feeling and "For the moon to raise from behind" might be better as "For the moon to rise behind" these are just my opinions though and as said it is a very good poem.

[Eve Ola]

Let the song of rain sung for the first time
Let you grow again and again till the time ceases
Let faces fade in and fade out
and the memories too

I am loving it. Well done
