Lazy Bones
Cordless phones
Garden gnomes
Overhead drones
Windowless homes
Creaks and moans
Lazy bones
Pain
Pain is like the rain
It comes and goes
Heavy and light
A Lie
It’s a lie that I don’t cry
It’s a lie that I passed you by
It’s a lie that I never tried
It’s a lie that I’ll never die
Mirror
Mirror, mirror, on the wall
You showed me how to stand tall
Again, it’s time for your call ………
Judgeย
I’m neither a judge
Nor a dealer in sludge
I’d rather eat some fudge
And give my-side of this life a nudge…….
Even Though
Love is all above thee
Love is a blanket of autumn leaves
Love shower’s us with glee
Love is everywhere, to feel and see
Ivor Steven (c)ย 2018

Yes I’m tired, it’s a catch 22, i need to build up my strength, but I’m not allowed to do anything.
….. I just have to be patient, sit tight, and go through the process of more tests and procedures.

I can understand that, Ivor. My hb is currently in Bne with his brothers keeping vigil at his mother’s bedside. Dr gave her 48 hrs to live 6 days ago. They too are tired. Take care of you x

There are days when we crave 24 hours with nothing to do but pamper ourselves but, when it’s enforced, it seems infinitely less pleasant. Loved these odds and ends especially pain being like the rain – so true! Take care of yourself my friend, some day soon all the crappy feelings you have now will just be a memory. Hugs xx

I like the experience of the light feeling in the beginning when it has to do with items, then the second sections shifts and moves the emotions to a more sobering place when it becomes about emotional pain that the items are maybe symbolizing. Nice!
