Serene Memories





Serene Memories


I live in a time zone
Where a peaceful river flows
Through the heart of my home

Down the road, toward the South
The Ocean’s shimmering memories
Convey a tranquil taste
Of sea mist to my mouth

And not far away, toward the North
The mountain’s eucalyptus fragrance
Serenely follows me back and forth

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.

  6. So beautiful! Photos, poem and song/vid! 🙂 Serene memories are the bestest! You’ve captured that in your poem! 🙂
    At it’s best, water (sea, ocean, rivers, lakes, ponds, etc.) can be life-giving, bring joy to our souls, inspiration to our imaginations, and peace to our hearts. 🙂
    We’ve lived near rivers, less than 7 miles from the ocean, and now near several lakes. 🙂
