Lana Del Rey

May my eyes always stay level to the horizon

may they never gaze as high as heaven

to ask why

The whys in this lifetime i’ve found

are inconsequential compared to the magic of the nowness

which is the solution to most questions

like sometimes i’m afraid my sadness is too big

and that one day you might have to help me handle it

but until then-

May i always keep my eyes level to this skyline

assessing the glittering new development

off the coast of Long Beach

never to heaven

Because i have faith in man as strange as that seems

in times like these

and it’s not just because of the warmth i’ve found in your

brown eyes-

it’s because I believe in the goodness in me

that it’s firm enough to plant a flag in

or a rosebud

or to build a new life.
