For this weeks βThrowback Fridayβ article over at Go Dog Go Cafe, I have chosen my poem “Foreign World”
βForeign Worldβ is a poem that I originally wrote in December 2017, and here today this a revised version from April 2019.

Foreign World(Revised)
Iβve been stuck inside this shabby carapace
Wondering if Iβll ever be able to about-face
Maybe I could borrow my angelβs wings, unfurled
Explore and travel the open foreign world
Time has come, to escape this holding place
Discovering, Iβm able to find lost grace
To wander the harvest field
Now I see beyond the shield
Rid the shackles of my broken heart
Return to reality, and apply for a restart
Healthy enough to hide from prying ghouls
Free to walk past the tardy bar stools
Go flying, with all the other old fools
And paddle ankle-deep in lifeβs distant pools
Ivor Steven (c) April 20190
