Strange….. this morning, I woke up with tears in my eyes……. funny how these moments, occasionally, happen…… I’m fine, I cope well these days, but I had an urge to pen some words, and I wrote these these few short lines…… Also today I’m posting this short poem on “Go Dog Go Cafe’s”, Promote Yourself Monday’s site, please visit them, by clicking >>> Here.
Wherever You Are
You are the pillow
In my pillowcase
You are the morning
In my sky
The cloud in my eyes
The water in my heart
You are the soul
In my every word

G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer.
I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

Yes Sue, they happen, with rhyme or reason, and I’ve learnt to flow with them, and smile to myself, and say, ”I’m still here Carole”…………. xx

Aw So sorry you had a morning-start with tears.
But, we can all relate to your poem. Tears can be cleansing. So we must go with the flow and let them out. 🙂
