Stairway To Heaven Poem by Ernestine Northover

Stairway To Heaven

Rating: 5.0


The stairway to heaven
Lies way beyond my soul,
Far-away from my heart,
And out of my control.
As I pass each second,
Of every single day,
I take steps to travel,
This far and distant way.
The stairway to heaven
Leads to a final goal,
When earthly life's absorbed
Via blending of the whole.

p.s. because of the famous Led Zeppelin song bearing the same title, you might consider modifying yours a bit?

The stairway to heaven, ah how brilliantly put. We expect something perhaps when we move on yet we are never sure, so I think your point of lack of control is fantastic here. Lovely almost lyrical flow in there too. All the best, Seán
