All We Have To Do Is Let Them Be

He was tying shoe laces, at the doorstep
I was in a rush to wrap up the conversation
As, all need to be ended , somewhere, anyway.

He greeted me goodbye and stepped out 
Without an effort to tie those shoes.
I was smiling, and closing the door, then.

I read a poem once about should and should not
Hide and seek playing with the divine force
White in black or black in white, may be.

I was frightened today to see a picture
It was haunting  me, like a pause in my life
I need to pray, o my Lord, I need to , solemnly.

All we have to do is let them be!
Dreams are never us, we are those dreams
I will buy those moments with my tiny hands,
To make you free on your desired land.
