Throwback Friday, Soundless

In keeping with this weekโ€™s theme on clouds, light, and the quiet mysteries of the universe, Iโ€™m revisiting a reflective poem from August 2018. Iโ€™ve made a few small word changes โ€” gentle adjustments that preserve the essence of the original piece.


Soundless (Revised)


My celestial dusk is earthward bound.
Evening clouds are not making a sound.
I cannot hear her moon shadows hit the ground,
and our silent night is being slowly drowned.
Then my midnight queen arises, to be crowned โ€”
the Goddess of Light … and I am spellbound.




A soft companion piece, echoing the poemโ€™s silence, carried on a gentle breath of light.

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.

  4. Ivor, the progression here is exquisite, from earthbound dusk to the ‘Goddess of Light’ being crowned. That final line carries all the reverence. ‘Spellbound’ is the only possible word to end on. Simple, luminous, perfect. ๐Ÿ’™

    Much love,
    Khadija ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿค—
