Another Wishful Song 

Some photographs linger in the mind long after they are taken. These images of a bird beneath the sun and moon quietly followed me into sleep and became a dream. By morning, the dream had found its wings and eventually became this wishful song.





Another Wishful Song

I dreamt of being a peaceful dove,
blissfully flying above
our spectacular solar sun
and our magnanimous moon.

I gazed out upon
the universe’s vast beyond.
Would my weary, wishful wings
carry me to where I belong?

Am I wrong
to imagine there’s another song
further away than my kingdom’s billabong?





Some dreams remain with us long after we wake. This song felt like a fitting companion for one that found its wings.

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.
