The Sky’s Pearls

A lone bird soars above the morning mist — echoing the clarity of my hilltop poem and the emotional lift of “Letters From The Sky.


Pearls from the sky, my courtyard flowers …

A sky scattered with quiet treasures, waiting for the morning to find them




The Sky’s Pearls



Life is uncomplicated
On my elevated hilltop;
Here, the air I breathe is untainted.

My courtyard’s world
Grows high above the town,
Yet I never look down
Nor frown on the town’s ground.

Instead, I gaze up at the sky’s pearls,
Where starry swirls and twirls,
Majestically unfurl.

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. Beautiful photos! Gorgeous flowers! 🙂 When we take the time to look up, physically, we can see so many amazing things! Especially those pearls you shared about…such a beautiful word-pic! I love sky gazing! 🙂 And when we take the time to look up, emotionally and mentally, we feel more positive and hopeful! 🙂
    (((HUGS))) 🙂 ❤️❤️❤️
