Let It Be


Are you telling a bird not to fly?
Are you teaching a fish not to swim?
Do you dare insist that a lion not roar?
Can you make an eagle forget how to soar?
Such poetic aspiration does not rhyme,
And you are totally wasting your time.

Dear Curtis, This a powerful poem that embraces the essence of existence, acknowledging the intrinsic nature of all beings. Your poem beautifully captures the futility of imposing limitations on natural instincts and urges us to honor the innate freedom of every living creature. A very profound reflection on the essence of life. - Blessings, Daniel

Thanks, Daniel. Indeed, each of us must allow others, and especially ourselves, to be what we were born to be. Blessings, my friend.
