Somewhere, Beyond My Time 

This is the second piece that I wrote on Monday morning (Sunday afternoon PDT) when I attended the Writing Circle Poetry Group via Zoom with our host/convener, the gracious Ali Grimshaw >> https://flashlightbatteries.blog/online-writing-circles/ and after listening to her recite a second selected piece of poetry, we were then encouraged to write our own poetic response in “6 mins” … and mine was a short 6 line poem



Somewhere, Beyond My Time 


Please give me more time 

Time to lay a foundation stone 

So, I can build my marble stairway 


The stairway I need to create 

The stairway that I must climb 

A climb to somewhere, beyond my time

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.

  10. This makes me wonder, “What is your foundation stone made of? I really like the idea. Thank you for sharing about the writing circle. It is always a joy to write with you. I have another writing circle coming up on Saturday, March 30 at 9:30 am PDT. I have a spot left if someone ones to give it a try.
    Keep shining your light, Ivor.

  12. Time is, limited for, all of us, and, we don’t know, when we’re set to, expire, so, through trial and, error, we slowly, learn, to, not make the, same mistakes in love that, we’d, already, made the, last time, and, hopefully, when we, finally, get it, RIGHT, we haven’t, run, out of time…but, that’s, rarely, the case, because, usually, we all need to be on our, deathbeds, before we receive that, NEEDED, WAKE-UP, C-A-L-L! And, it’d be, too, late…
