A View of Heaven

about Steven Callahan, who spent 76 days in a life raft.

The heat reflects off plastic

On water running low

That same day, Providence gathers

Fish to catch below

I am gifted gratitude

Beyond the modern dream

Looking at the raw night sky

So long since it was seen…like

A view of heaven

From a

A 6-ft yellow island

On the furrowed face of the sea

Still must ‘make life hop a bit’

Between the fish and me

No room for rather in a story

With an ending I can’t guess

Perfection’s survival’s enemy

Just don’t fall off the edge…at

‘A view of heaven

From a seat in hell’

This is from a song I wrote on Spotify. If you wanna give it a listen, it’s A View of Heaven by Misomnia. I really hope y’all subscribe because we have literally 7 followers.
