This is the Life






This is the Life



The protective clouds encourage me
To hover here on the cool breeze
And savor the world’s calm stratosphere
Where I survive peacefully and free
But ready to soar above the trees
Into the dark, without fear

Away from the battlefields of strife
“Come with me, this is the life”

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 Arlene … birds are fascinating and capturing photos of them in flight is a compelling passion of mine and I love writing about them and can only imagine how free they must feel… 🦅💙🌏

  6. Such a beautiful trio, Ivor…photos, poem and song! Brought the smiles and the joy-tears. 🙂
    Just watching birds soar…just reading your poem…just listening to this song makes me feel the peace, the joy, the flyin’-above-the-strife. 🙂 You remind me that we can fly above in our emotions, our souls, our hearts, our minds. 🙂 I wish you many many more years of flyin’, my friend! 🙂
    (((HUGS))) and Thank you!!! ❤️🦅🕊❤️

  10. We have peregrine falcons that live near us and I’m ever in awe of how beautiful they really are. This is a wonderful poem, Ivor. Reminds me of the beauty all around us that we can find every day. 🌻
