Analysis of LET IT BE
Would I wish on a star and be lost in a lair?
Your love hath found me and I wish for no hurt,
I have without question loved the loved,
Take not, take not this beating heart,
This beating heart and its races,
Let it run and be lost, lost in the lustfulness of time,
Let it not walk unwalked and be like sounds unheard,
Let it be music and its lines, said,
Like the words of the sage, sage and inspiring,
Let it be, let it be the death of me,
Let it pull away all that is unclean, let it be like the waters and drown all rudders,
Let it be my love, all it can be.

About this poem
Sometimes we fall in love when we least expect, when we want nothing to do with the blissfulness of love and its plights, but it is all for the best, what you consider with suspicion eventually becomes what becomes dear and you would fight to hold on to, it will take away all that is not you and show you to you. It is a poem about falling into the arms of love and not looking back to the harrowing days.
