    Wonderful!
    The future is so much more meaningful if we accept, embrace, thoroughly experience all that we can — and then pass on into the new reality, changed but not encumbered. This is almost a zen koan.

    How the hell can anybody write a poem with the word 'let' repeated 18 times and it is still this good?

    truly loved this, an astonishing piece of poetry, gutted I didn't write it myself

      Thanks a lot man! There was actually 24 ‘lets’ originally but I toned it down ;) I was a bit concerned about the repetitiveness so I really appreciate the comment Darren :)

    This poem is mesmerizing, in all of my years on this site I don't think I have ever sat open mouthed while reading somebody's poem. With this one I did. It takes you on a journey away from this world and transports you into the authors mind for a fleeting few moments. This is as close to perfect that I have seen. An easy 10 points for me.
