NEVER TO HEAVEN - LANA

Lestalestrange 18 hours ago

May my eyes always stay level to the horizon 

May they never gaze as high as heaven to ask why 

May i never go where angels fear to tread,

So as to have to ask answers in the sky

The whys in this life time I've found are inconsequential compared to the magic of nowness.

An interesting piece. It reminds me of almost an inverse homage to E.E Cummings "May My Heart Always Be Open to Little Birds"; where Cummings emphasises the theme of what is beyond us, this piece focuses on that immediately before and whilst Cumming's piece is ironically flippant, this poem has a more moderate and introspective tone.

Is mother Lana another 7cup poet?

Hey thanks for stopping by. I've just read the poem you mentioned. I didn't quite understand a few lines in it. 

No Bastion, it was written by singer Lana del Rey.
