Throwback Friday, Moon Shadows and Celestial Lights (Revised), by Ivor Steven

“Her moon shadows shyly tiptoe through my nights
as my hazy dreams glow under her celestial lights”

I am ‘Moon-struck’ this week, and here is another “Moon” poem, which I originally wrote in May 2018, and today I am reposting the version that I revised in October 2021 …


Moon Shadows And Celestial Lights

I stood alone
In my second-hand clothes
holding her worn-out soul
Silently
I placed her ashes
In a brick wall
Years of heartache
Hidden in a chasm of pain
Moments in time
Now resting in peace

How does tomorrow become another day?
How does the past live with today?

Her moon shadows shyly tiptoe through my nights
As my hazy dreams glow under her celestial lights

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 for your kind words, Robbie … sorry I’ve been blogging much lately, my life is very hectic at the moment, hopefully, once I’ve finished organising my trip to Canada, things will get back to normal again … 😍🌏🛬

    1. Oh, I love Cat’s wonderful quote 😍📖 … and thank you for all of your endearing compliments, Carolyn… I’ve revised the wording a little bit, but the meaning of my poem has been unchanged … maybe it’s one for my next book 📕 💕🌏😍🐶🎶

    1. Yes, the sky has been extra clear and moon has been extra brighter … thank you for your kind words, Ryan, and it’s an older poem that I’ve revised and I thinking I should add it to my new manuscript 🤗📘📖
