Hanging By a Thread


I am not going to hang back
Nor be left hanging by a thread

I will soar like a hang-glider
Over the rainbow
And fly toward the twilight moon

There, we will hang out together
Hang suspended
And quietly wait

For Time to hang up the words
“This is the promised land
Where greatness does not need a hand”

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.

  9. Beautiful photos! 🙂 (Did someone lose their glove?)
    Such a powerful encouraging poem! Keep soaring, keep flying, keep communing with the moon! 🙂
    Wonderful choice of a Mr. Cohen song! Of course, he is always a good choice! 🙂 His songs and your poems, Ivor, are so often compatible and such a lovely duet. 🙂
    I hope you and Sir Frankie are having a great day! 🙂
    (((HUGS))) ❤️❤️❤️

    1. As you know, Mr Cohen is my muse … oh, the glove was left abandoned on our walk track, and I immediately thought of Leonard Cohen’s song ‘The Law’ and his words “You just don’t ask for mercy while you’re still on the stand
      There’s a law, there’s an arm, there’s a hand”, and my poem began from there… thank you dear Carolyn for your lovely words 😍🌏📖📘💕🎶
