A Step Beyond Shadows (a Tanka)

An archway of trees
Cast shadows over my path
The light glows brighter
As I dare to step beyond
My uncharted existence

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.

  12. I love those nature-created archways…trees with arms raised holding hands. 🙂
    A powerful duo of your poem and that photo. Also, such a great song/vid.
    How are you doing, Ivor?
    Your poem is so relatable…so heart-touching…life often throws shadows on us, but we keep moving forward and keep reaching for the light.
    (((HUGS))) ❤️❤️❤️
