All things must end; it’s plain to see And death will come in time for me Cessation of my misery And every kind of cruelly So let it be So let it be With wings I’ll fly from pain set free To soar above each flower, each tree Content in this, my destiny So let it be So let it be No longer will escape the plea “God bring to end my agony For you know my despondency So, Let it be So, let it be" No longer will I have to flee from yoke of mediocrity I’ll be a blessed nonentity So, let it be So, let it be Eileen Manassian

Deep and powerful writing. Like something the greats of old would pen. I understand what you're saying about letting go of all and becoming a "nonentity" ... but for me I think the opposite would take place. You'll become everything you should be in it's truest form ... and every aspect of dis-ingenuity and fake-ness that might remain will just fall off of you, like shedding a skin. Rather it will be the ultimate form of BEING.

Excellent structure, and beautiful, emotive lines...definitely reads like a song..truly a sad touch, yet lovely all the same. All lives must come to the end, the sweet acceptance and tone of this piece is almost chilling... death is peaceful, perhaps some find solace in the thought of it, when the pain is just too deep..another excellent verse. Always, Laura

Thanks, sweetie. I deal with depression and am on medication for it. I wish I could say that these writes are just....writes, but these thoughts come to me at times. Other times....I see the good in everything. It's my cross to bear. Thanks for being so kind to me today. I always remember a kindness. Hugs

This life we are afforded is both a gift and blessing. I believe it is important to be thankful for it. God does not promise us all that we think our lives should be, but if we trust in Him they will be amazing in the way He has planned for us.

Yes, dear Richard. Today I am sick....and tired. Not a very good combination. Thanks for the uplifting message. Hugs

Thank you, Sunshine. You are so sweet. If you are looking for a lighter write...check out June or December which is a collab between Richard and me. Hugs
