Throwback Friday, Lights Above Bridges

Yesterday, while we were walking along the banks of the Barwon River, we passed under the historic Queens Park Bridge, so today’s Throwback Friday poem is quite appropriate; originally written in September 2021.



Lights Above Bridges (Revise)



Bridges span our invisible years 
And carry our forgotten tears 
Crossing over old hidden fears

Bridges are burnt over time
Years turn to ashes in an instant
And time is our only constant  

Beyond the longest bridges
Under the ocean’s bluest seas 
And above nature’s greenest hues 
Love’s pulsating Aurora nights renew

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.

  6. Such a beautiful trio of photos, poem, and song, Ivor! 🙂

    Bridges have always fascinated me! 🌉I really appreciate them. 🌉 I have driven across, and walked across, many bridges…my fave is the Golden Gate Bridge. 🙂

    And, of course, when we has Human-Beans are positively connected by emotional bridges, in the journey of life, it is wonderful. “Like a bridge over troubled water…I will ease your mind…” – Paul Simon 🙂
