Daytime Moon

Afternoon Moonbeams


Afternoon Moonbeams



time beckons

second after second

years fly by

over sea and sky

love gleams

between moonbeams and sunbeams

love thrives

from beehive to beehive

life rebounds

in leaps and bounds

Lisa Hannigan Lyrics

“Fall”

Hide your horses, hold your tongue
Hang the rich and spare the young
Who drain the spirits from the jars
Hop the fences, steal the cars
Run on fumes and from the north
And burn for us right through the fall

All the ladies call your name
Brush your hair like it could be tamed
Hitch their dresses past the knees
Spilling to the floor like ease
They swing the bridges one and more
And burn for us right through the fall

All our running ahead, all our running ahead
All our running ahead, all our running ahead

And we’ll seize the captain’s wheel
A mutiny we’ve come to feel
When will their aiming’s gone from view
With everything we thought to do
Oh, the devil won’t have me
I wonder who will, I wonder who will
All our running is a crawl
And burns for us right through the fall

All our running ahead, all our running ahead
All our running ahead, all our running ahead
All our running, all our running
All our running, all our running

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.

  7. This beautiful trio of photos, your poem, and the song brought joy-tears to my eyes! 🙂
    I think this is one of your bestest poems, Ivor! I read it 3 times and I want to read it many more times! It is so positive and flows so beautifully!
    (((HUGS))) 🙂
    PS…I always love seeing the moon during the day time hours. 🙂

    1. Yeah.. the daytime moon is an inspirational sight.
      … the photos were taken at my sister’s birthday party, the weather was perfect, to see all the family again was fabulous, and a lovely positive poem was the result….and it actually worked out better than I thought…. And the Lisa Hannigan video is very powerful…. not sure if it was the right choice… but each time I read the lyrics it seems to go with my words… ((Hugs))…

      4. I usually bounce back, a lull/let down, after my busy weekend, once I pass New Years Eve, I’ll be ok on the weekend…. too many emotional memories at the moment….xx
