Elysian Fields Poem by Lento Maez

Elysian Fields

Rating: 5.0


I want to go to Elysian Fields for an afterlife
Where the gods proclaim there is no strife
To the edge of earth their domain may be
Where we mortal souls must beg, plead to see
In Elysian plain you’ll find the best of life
When you go there you’ll feel no strife
If you want to go there you must be blessed
Enjoying the life the gods have professed
In Elysian Fields there is no pain
The weather’s clear, no hail no rain
If Hades guardians find you there
Fear not my friend do not beware
Remember though that life lived in vain
Elysian Fields you will not gain

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Saw the showing of Elysium on 8/9/2013 starring Matt Damon & Jodie Foster and was moved by the symbolism.
