Throwback Friday, A Living Legend


Today’s Throwback Friday poem is from May 2021 and appears in my new book “Until Eyes Hear Sound”, Chapter 2, page 20.


A Living Legend

Mother Nature is my gardener
My living dance of life
I follow her guiding waltz
And let her conduct the lead

Where everything in her wonderland is real
Everything I touch, I can feel
And inside every blade of grass
Everything I see is a fairyland field

Every aroma from the magical forest
Gently breezes across my forehead
Every midnight moonbeam
Covers me in a silver dream
Every golden ray of sunshine
Lights up my dreams like a neon sign

I cannot control the sun
I cannot control the waves
But I can control the energy I receive

From every moment there is a second
Every second is a piece of time’s errand
Every errand is a part of life’s legend

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.
