Deep Echoes

Here I stand on this unclothed land

Counting the grains of dying sand

Listening to nature’s howling sound

Of wind scrolling over barren ground

Gathering lost words from timeless channels

And I hear ancient chants within earth’s deepest funnels

Pushing songs of distant light through endless tunnels

Quietly echoing the multitudes voiceless struggles

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.

  9. Beautiful trio! Your photo, your poem, and the song/vid!
    (I’ve always enjoyed Alicia AND Brandi! 🙂 )
    Those who lived before us, those who lived with us and have passed on, they are always there with us to give us strength. 🙂

    1. Oh thank you so much , what a lovely comment for me tonight… I’ve just arrived home from my first night out (8.00pm) at my sports club for 8 months….It was such a welcoming change to catch-up with life long friends… lots of warmth and smiles, even with our masks on, I could see the sparkle in everyone’s eyes…. I think I’ll play Brandi’s song again now..!! ((Hugs))

    1. Thanks Derrick, most of the words emanated from last nights dream, and I’m not sure why my subconscious was delving into those thoughts, but yes, the outcome made for an intriguing read…
