Please Just Let Me Be

Rolling fruit down paths of stone
to waters seasoned true-
Where fields of warmth
and blankets green, caress the sticky skins.

In pages torn and scattered-
blowing through the dream
with words upon the wind's disease
and pastel shyness trees.

I'm falling with the mushroom caps-
that cover time before.
I fumble for the opening
to silence and the same.

To sterile glass and unfought wars
to wounds of healing due.
Crawling through the thickness-
of days in darkness worn.

To simple streets in simple times-
to sands of weightless free.
Reaching, screaming empty cries
please just let me be.

Just let me be…what a powerful wish.  Imagery is simply stunning.  Nice work, take care.

Oh, another beauty. Love the imagery here, and the way you write always feels so good to me.

Oh yes beautiful
I love the line:
"with words upon the wind's disease
and pastel shyness trees"
and ... well, all of it!

"Please just let me be".....if only they would!


God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown

Oh Fire you have such a way with words.
Loved with words upon the wind's disease.
Be well.
