Let Us Be

Let Us Be

Let us savor the joy of the unknown

Let us toss aside those anxious anachronisms

That do nothing but affirm our own trepidations

Let us soak in the warmth of the right now

And simply be lost in the moment of each other

Let us seek to find our most fragile, flawed selves

That delicate yearning that can only bloom

Under an expansive sky’s radiant shine

Full of the Present’s possibility

Let us just be

And never worry about what might come

Let us never trade a moment we get to have

For the terror of a tomorrow that isn’t guaranteed to arrive

Let us hold fast together

Against our own terrible tantrums

Arms locked in defiance

Of the World’s banal bombardment

Let us stay true to you and I

The one thing we can build or break

By doing the only thing we can do

Letting ourselves…

Just

Be
