From the heavens
Galaxy to galaxy
into outer space
I have fallen
From the farthest planet
To the surface of earth
Into the heart of nature
I have fallen
Across the high mountains
Through the endless valleys
Along the deepest rivers
I have fallen
Into the soul of the forest
The center of the desert
To the bottom of the ocean
I have fallen
Into your infinite horizon of love
Your overwhelming strong spell
onto your sweet, tender caress
Fallen I have, my queen
In love.... In love with you
Rapadoo,
I love it, very nice poem. If the person have "fallen
ReplyDeleteInto the soul of the forest
The center of the desert
To the bottom of the ocean" it appears to me that person who fall in love is very unfortunate.
What if you thought about it as an angel leaving the heavens just to fall in love with a human? would it feel different?
ReplyDeleteIt's the same
ReplyDeleteWell, there is nothing literal about this poem. You have to read it in context. picture the scenery of a shooting star or the angel. The real substance here is the power of love. If an angel is willing to leave heaven, become human only to fall in love with a person, It's powerful.
ReplyDeleteI understand the power of love in that poem. Despite the fact love is powerful that doesn't mean the human will be able to be in a relationship with the angel. It is in that context that I stated the person falling in love is unfortunate.
ReplyDeletelol...ok! What if we put some more context to it. the idea of falling in love is, in part, giving up yourself to be with someone. In that sense, falling from the heavens simply means giving up egoism and everything you hold dear just to be with someone you love. It's not unfortunate because the person is making a conscious choice knowing what the consequences could be.
ReplyDeletelol mwen ba ou legen, but I agree with you.
ReplyDeleteNo don't feel that way. It's a good discussion. This poem is totally open to interpretation. That's the idea. I'm simply highlighting others ways it could be interpreted.
