A Fire That Burns in the Cold





A Fire That Burns in the Cold


From behind the trees,
And out of the grasses,
We cannot stop the fire
-That burning desire-
From soaring higher,
Higher than the entire
Starry, starry choir.

So, best we inquire
To the Almighty Supplier:
“Will there be a ceasefire
at the top of your golden spire?”

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.

  3. I had never heard this song- and it was very intriguing! I like the raspiness of the singer’s voice. And- yes Ivor. I believe there is a ceasefire in the great beyond. I have to believe that…

  13. World peace is all we ask

    seems a tumultuous task

    in life’s grace, we should bask

    let truth haunt the masked

    rise above the raucous din

    empower yourself within
