Hear The Thunder

I came across this poem of mine today, a piece I wrote back in January 2019, while I was in hospital recovering from my 2nd stroke … maybe my dreams and visions were at bit blurred … but maybe they weren’t …

Hear The Thunder


My tired voice is crying out, “there’s no time to wait !!”

The people are pleading fromwithin their breastplates

We need to hear the thunder of peace bells ringing

Ringing to the crescendo of peace doves singing


The chimes are loud and clear

Loud enough for the universe to hear

Even through white marble walls

You’ll hear the thunder of the peace bells fall



We are gathering in every backyard

Every church hall

Every city street

Every farmers paddock


Every heavenly peace dove is escaping

You will see the doves flying high above

Even through the towers of tinted glass

You’ll see the peace doves soar


Even through their white marble walls

They’ll hear the thunder of the peace bells fall

Even through their towers of tinted glass

They’ll hear the crescendo of the peace doves call


Hear the thunder of peace bells ringing

Hear the crescendo of peace doves singing

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.

      1. Thank you for your wonderful comments Cheryl… I wrote this 4 years ago… and despite being in hospital there was something happening that was disturbing me enough to have those thoughts 💭🤗🌏😍

  5. but, despite how loud the sound of peace is screaming, those who are in need of hearing this, remained, oblivious, these leaders of the world’s biggest countries, and it’s still the ordinary people who end up, paying, too huge, a price!

  6. I think the message in this brilliant poem is clear, important, and powerful! And so timely still today. If everyone would be willing to hear the bells and doves…and be understanding…they could find inner peace which would lead to peace from without. 🙂
